Legal Challenges Intensify Over Mail-In Voting Ahead of 2024 Elections
As the 2024 elections approach, a series of legal battles are unfolding concerning mail-in voting, with significant implications for electoral processes across the United States. Three Trump-appointed judges are set to hear cases that could potentially limit mail-in voting, prompting the GOP to push for changes to voting rules in Mississippi and potentially beyond. The Republican National Committee and others have filed lawsuits challenging Mississippi's mail ballot policies, with attorneys suggesting that a ruling could have a 'national impact'. Concurrently, federal appeals courts are grappling with state laws regarding the counting of mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day, as late-arriving ballots face scrutiny from the GOP. Judicial Watch has also accelerated an appeal concerning the state's ballot counting procedures. With a conservative court taking on these challenges, the outcome may invalidate millions of mail-in votes, sparking a battle that could significantly shape the landscape of U.S. Presidential elections.
