In a Rare Blow to Trump, the Supreme Court Just Saved Mail-In Voting—For Now

In a surprising turn, the Supreme Court upheld a Mississippi law permitting mail-in ballots to be counted if postmarked on Election Day and received up to five days later. This 5-4 decision, led by Justice Amy Coney Barrett, was a notable win for voting rights, countering attempts to restrict mail-in voting. This ruling is significant as it counters efforts to limit postal voting, which has been a contentious issue amid the Trump administration's skepticism of mail-in ballots. The decision preserves an essential aspect of democracy, ensuring broader access to voting for now.
