At Trump's Urging, SCOTUS Will Rule On Late-Arriving Ballots

Mississippi is among 18 states and the District of Columbia that accept mailed ballots received after Election Day if the ballots are postmarked on or before that date.




By Susie Madrak — November 15, 2025

SCOTUS just agreed to decide whether states can continue to count late-arriving mail ballots, which of course have been a target of our paranoid president. Via The Mississippi Press:

The justices took up an appeal from Mississippi after a panel of three judges nominated by the Republican president on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last year that the state law allowing ballots that arrive shortly after Election Day to be counted violated federal law.

Mississippi is among 18 states and the District of Columbia that accept mailed ballots received after Election Day as long as the ballots are postmarked on or before that date, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

The list includes swing states such as Nevada and states such as Colorado, Oregon and Utah that rely heavily on mail voting..............

An additional 14 states allow the counting of late-arriving ballots from some eligible voters, including overseas U.S. service members and their families, according to a filing from Democratic-led states that urged the justices to reverse the appellate ruling.

They will probably do a lot of things to try to screw up the votes. I'm hoping that if Dems vote in such huge numbers the Trumpistas can't be effective in their voter sabotage attempts to make any difference. But we might see a repeat of delayed vote counts as things get tied up in court. I sure hope we don't see a repeat of a Bush v. Gore court decision on these crucial ballot counts.
