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

The Supreme Court's decision to allow states to count mail-in ballots arriving after Election Day is a significant setback for the Trump campaign, which had pushed for strict deadlines to limit vote count. With a 5-4 split, the court determined that federal election laws do not mandate a cutoff date for ballot arrival, thus upholding states' authority to manage their own voting processes. This ruling could impact future elections by affirming the flexibility states need to ensure all eligible voters can participate.
