US Supreme Court deals blow to Trump, ruling states can accept ballots after Election Day

In a significant decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that states can count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day, rejecting efforts by the Trump administration and some Republicans to limit voting to the day polls close. The 5-4 ruling supports broader access to voting, potentially benefiting Democratic efforts to encourage mail-in voting. This decision could have major implications for future elections, especially in a polarized political climate where control of the Supreme Court influences interpretations of federal voting laws.
