Voters in Washington and a dozen other states can continue counting ballots received after Election Day.
In a 5-4 ruling announced Monday morning, Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined Chief Justice John Roberts, and Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson in upholding a Mississippi election law that allows ballots received by mail up to five days after Election Day to be counted as long as they were postmarked on or before Election Day.
The ruling means that there will not be a change to the deadline to submit ballots in Washington.
Fully agree! I plan on using a ballot dropbox myself and making it to a voting center if I don’t receive my ballot in the mail.
