画像:R Street InstituteWhat the Watson v. Republican National Committee Decision Means for the 2026 Midterm Elections - R Street Institute
• In a 5-4 ruling issued during the final week of its 2026 term, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Mississippi law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted if they arrive up to five days after Election Day. • The decision in Watson v. Republican National Committee validates the state's extended deadline for ballot receipt, a move challenged by the RNC. • This ruling is significant as it provides legal coverage for Mississippi and 13 other states that employ similar post-election arrival windows.
