Supreme Court rules that mail-in ballots can be counted after Election Day in blow to GOP

The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision allows mail-in ballots to be counted if they're postmarked by Election Day, even if they arrive later, rejecting a Republican challenge aimed at invalidating votes in Mississippi. This ruling is crucial as it addresses concerns about vote integrity and the timely counting of ballots, which are essential for fair elections. The decision is a significant blow to GOP efforts to limit mail-in voting, which could have implications for future elections and voter accessibility.
