The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5–4 on Monday that Mississippi may continue counting mail-in ballots received up to five business days after Election Day, as long as they are postmarked by that date. The decision overturned a lower court ruling and rejected a challenge backed by President Donald Trump and Republican state parties. Trump responded by urging Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, a bill requiring photo ID and citizenship proof for voting. He wrote that the only motive for opposing such legislation is cheating, as reported by the source. The ruling is a setback for Trump and Republicans, who have long questioned mail-in ballot security and sought stricter voting rules.
