U.S. Supreme Court rules states can accept mail ballots after Election Day!
The Supreme Court on Monday ruled 5-4 that states can accept mail ballots after polls close in federal races, rejecting the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) push to defeat the practice.
More than a dozen states deem mail ballots that arrive after Election Day valid, so long as they were postmarked by then.
Justice Amy Coney Barrett said it doesn’t conflict with federal law, which sets “the Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November” as the “day for the election.”
“The election-day statutes say nothing about ballot receipt, and we cannot add to the words Congress chose,” Barrett wrote.
She and Chief Justice John Roberts joined the court’s three liberal justices in the majority. The court’s four other conservative justices dissented, led by Justice Samuel Alito.

Question I have is who is going to be wiping off the ketchup on the walls in the White House after another Trump temper tantrum?
