The U.S. Supreme Court appears ready to limit the counting of mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day, a move that could significantly influence upcoming elections. Conservative justices have expressed skepticism about existing state laws allowing late-arriving ballots, echoing concerns raised by former President Trump regarding the integrity of mail voting. The potential ruling could complicate voting processes in states like Oregon and Alaska, where voters are accustomed to grace periods for mail ballots. Legal experts warn that these changes may disenfranchise millions and could impact the fairness of future elections, particularly the midterms. As state officials and voters brace for the implications, the Republican push to tighten mail voting regulations seems to gain traction in the judicial arena.
