From WTOP.com: Supreme Court rules states can count late-arriving mailed ballots, rejecting Trump-led challenge
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.

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.
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."
