Supreme Court to Decide if Federal Ballots Received After Election Day Are Counted

From The Epoch Times:

The U.S. Supreme Court on March 23 will hear Mississippi’s appeal against a lower court ruling striking down its law counting ballots received after Election Day.

Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, said in recent years there has been a “contagion” going through the states in which they are “gutting the very notion of Election Day and allowing votes to arrive and be counted days and weeks after an election.”

Judicial Watch represents the Libertarian Party of Mississippi, a co-respondent in the case.

“Your mailbox isn’t a ballot box,” Fitton told The Epoch Times. “The idea that you drop your ballot in the mail and it gets there whenever, and it gets counted—that’s not the way it’s supposed to work.”
