Supreme Court rules states can count late-arriving mailed ballots, rejecting Trump-led challenge

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled that states can count ballots that arrive after Election Day, a persistent target of President Donald Trump.

WTOP News
Washington is one of 14 states — along with Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia — that allow some form of late-arriving mail-in ballots.

How late can your ballot arrive and still be counted?

Washington is one of 14 states — along with Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the District of Columbia — that allow some form of late-arriving mail-in ballots.

This would have been really bad for Republicans – many vote by mail, from what I've read.

Damn lol...

No, but seriously, this seems like an appropriate ruling since states are supposed to decide how their elections are run, per the US Constitution.

Who Owns Liberty Vote: The Company That Bought Dominion

Liberty Vote acquired Dominion Voting Systems under Scott Leiendecker’s leadership. Here’s what the sale means for election officials and voters across the country.

PSA:

Check your voter registration. Mine got flagged because when I moved three years ago my new address was added and my old one was not replaced, so a piece of mail got returned to the election board.

Could be something weird like that happened to you too.

Please boost.

They've not gone totally cuckoo -

Supreme Court rejects Trump’s challenge to counting late mail-in ballots

#SCOTUS ruled that federal law doesn’t bar a grace period for mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day.

That's 1 for Democracy.

We'll take it.

Unpopular opinion for the day, anyone over the age of 65 shouldn't be allowed to run for office... and if you reach the age of 65 when you are still occupying a seat in government (local, regional, or national), you have to retire. This is also true for supreme court justices... though not elected, they shouldn't be allowed to make decisions that affect Americans. When you consider that the average age of Americans is under 40, the idea that some 70 year old is making decisions is really frightening... I'm not sold they should even have the right to vote, but certainly shouldn't be making laws. #USPolitics #VOTING #PublicOffice #TooOldForPower

5-4 vote: "Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Elana Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson and Sonia Sotomayor. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh dissented."

Oppose Proposed Mail-In and Absentee Ballot Regulations | League of Women Voters

"The United States Postal Service (“USPS”) issued a new rule on 06/02/2026 that would establish elements of national standards for absentee and mail-in ballots in federal elections. 

"These new proposed rules will create unnecessary barriers that prevent eligible voters from receiving and returning their mail-in and absentee ballots in time to be counted."
