Justice Samuel Alito’s dissent, joined by Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh, warned that this approach “risks further undermining Americans’ confidence in election integrity” and that allowing late‑arriving ballots to decide outcomes after Election Day invites serious trouble. Judicial Watch’s Supreme Court filings made the same case, arguing that federal law forbids counting ballots received after Election Day and that the uniform Election Day requirement reflects longstanding practice.
