A panel of three Donald Trump-appointed judges said Friday that Mississippi was violating federal law by counting mail ballots that arrive after Election Day but stopped short of blocking the policy before the election in a ruling that could nevertheless impact voting-related lawsuits this fall
Ruling from 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals is a victory for Republican National Committee and others who brought the case in Mississippi a non-battleground state with very little mail-in voting, seeking a ruling by a far-right circuit court friendly to their arguments
“Congress statutorily designated a singular ‘day for the election’ of members of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors” the 5th Circuit panel said. “Text precedent and historical practice confirm this ‘Day for the Election’ is the day by which ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state officials”
