“The U.S. Supreme Court has heard arguments over whether states can continue to count late-arriving mail ballots — an election issue targeted by President Donald Trump,” the AP reports.
“In two hours of arguments, the court’s conservative justices appeared mostly skeptical of Mississippi’s defense of its five-day grace period.”
Rick Hasen: “It would also be another blow against the power of states to set election rules unless Congress has set a contrary rule. In other contexts, the Supreme Court has required Congress to be clear when they mean to preempt state power. We’ll see if they are consistent on this question.”
