Supreme Court upholds Mississippi law counting late-arriving mail ballots

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold a Mississippi law allowing mail ballots received days after Election Day to be counted. The high court rejected arguments that federal law requires ballots to be received by Election Day, finding that federal law does not preempt state laws. This decision confirms the legality of the state's grace period for late-arriving mail-in ballots, provided they were postmarked by Election Day, ensuring these votes remain valid under state legislation.
