SCOTUS just ruled states can accept mail-in ballots "after" Election Day.
5-4 decision.
Barrett and Roberts joined Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson.
This is not a minor procedural footnote. It hands states like California the green light to keep counting ballots for weeks.
Congress has the constitutional authority to close this gap. The SAVE Act - or any legislation requiring federal election ballots to be "received" by Election Day - must pass now.
The Court identified the loophole. It is Congress’s job to shut it.
🚨 BREAKING: The US Supreme Court ruled states CAN accept mail-in ballots AFTER Election Day, 5-4
Yet ANOTHER reason the SAVE America Act must be passed NOW!
This means states like California can CONTINUE taking WEEKS to count ballots after Election Day
BEYOND insane.
