One of Trump’s Supreme Court appointees just saved the late mail ballots he hates so much

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that states can count mail ballots postmarked by Election Day even if they arrive later, rejecting a Republican-led challenge. Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion, while President Donald Trump criticized the decision and reiterated calls for the SAVE America Act. The ruling preserves current ballot rules ahead of the 2026 midterms.
