This case, stemming from Mississippi, challenges the state’s law that allows ballots received up to five business days after Election Day to be counted, provided they are postmarked by Election Day. The issue began when the Republican National Committee (RNC) contested Mississippi’s law, arguing that federal law requires voters to cast their ballots by Election Day. Last fall, the 5th U.S. Circuit of Appeals sided with the RNC, stating, “Federal law requires voters to take timely steps to vote…
