• The Supreme Court ruled that state laws, rather than federal statutes, determine the deadlines for when mail-in ballots must be received and counted. • The decision follows a challenge by Republicans who argued that federal law required all ballots to be counted by Election Day instead of allowing a multi-day grace period. • The ruling is significant as it preserves the ability of various states to extend counting deadlines, potentially impacting the finality of midterm election results.
