A recent US Supreme Court decision has allowed a state law regarding mail-in ballots to stand. The law in question permits mail-in ballots to be counted if they are received up to five days after election day, provided they are postmarked on or before election day. The ruling was made with a 5-4 decision and applies to the state of Mississippi.

Mississippi initially passed this law in 2020. Further details on this ruling can be found through WXYZ Channel 7 news.
