Honest Elections Project Reacts to Supreme Court Accepting Election Day Ballot Receipt Deadline Case

“The Supreme Court now has the chance to set the record straight: Federal law clearly says that ballots must be received by Election Day. Federal law has clearly established a federal ‘Election Day’ for most of our nation’s history. Despite this, some states continue to allow absentee ballots to pour in days or even weeks late. The Fifth Circuit has already ruled that late ballots cannot be counted, and this case gives the Supreme Court the chance to resolve that question once and for all.”
