In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that states can count mail-in ballots arriving after Election Day, providing relief to 18 states while rejecting multiple challenges from former President Trump and Republican leaders. The ruling upheld grace periods for late ballots and showcased a significant 5-4 decision in favor of maintaining electoral access. Trump expressed frustration over the ruling, labeling it as a setback and reiterating his commitment to push for stricter voting measures. The decision is seen as a victory for voting rights advocates amid ongoing debates about election integrity and access.
