Justice Alito Criticizes Supreme Court Mail-In Ballot Ruling
Supreme Court allows Mississippi to count absentee ballots received five days after Election Day, rejecting Republican National Committee challenge.
- The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that states can count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but received up to five days later, with Justices Roberts and Barrett joining the liberal justices in the majority opinion.

- The Court majority stated that federal election-day statutes do not prevent states from counting ballots received after Election Day if postmarked on time, leaving policy decisions to legislatures.
