US EditionSCOTUS asked to decide challenge to IL’s post election ballot counts
- The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a challenge from Illinois Representative Mike Bost regarding mail-in ballot counting rules in Illinois, which allow ballots to be counted up to two weeks after Election Day.
- Bost argues that the Illinois regulation contradicts federal law and claims it causes financial injury to his campaign by extending costs over 14 days.
- The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals previously denied Bost's challenge, stating he lacked standing, which the Supreme Court's decision to hear indicates it acknowledges the legal significance of the case.
- If the Supreme Court rules on this case, it could impact how states handle mail-in ballot counting procedures across the country, according to election officials and candidates.
