AI Fusion Summary

The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that states can count mail-in ballots arriving after Election Day, provided they were postmarked by the deadline. In a 5-4 decision, the court rejected challenges from the Republican National Committee and Donald Trump, including a specific challenge to a Mississippi law. This ruling upholds practices currently used in more than a dozen states, allowing election officials to accept ballots received after polls close in federal races if postmarked on time.
