Supreme Court to Consider Reviving GOP Challenge to Illinois Mail Ballot Deadline
- On Monday, the Supreme Court agreed to review a Republican lawsuit challenging an Illinois law that permits counting mail-in ballots submitted within 14 days following Election Day.
- The challenge comes after lower federal courts determined that Rep. Mike Bost and two former presidential electors do not have the legal standing to bring a lawsuit concerning the Illinois law in a federal court.
- Illinois belongs to a group of 18 states plus the District of Columbia that allow mailed ballots to be counted if they are postmarked by Election Day, even if received afterward, whereas Trump’s executive order from March stipulates that all votes must be both cast and received by Election Day.
- Illinois Republicans urged the court to affirm candidates' ability to contest state election rules, highlighting the opportunity to resolve issues surrounding the counting of ballots after Election Day.
- The Supreme Court will hear arguments in its fall term, and the case could influence broader efforts to restrict late-arriving ballot counting and amplify claims of undermined election confidence.
