Supreme Court rules states can count late-arriving mailed ballots, rejecting Trump-led challenge

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that states can count mailed ballots arriving after Election Day if postmarked by Election Day, rejecting a Republican-led challenge. Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority opinion, while Justice Samuel Alito dissented, arguing the decision risks election integrity. President Donald Trump criticized the ruling, calling it a 'tremendous loss' and urging Congress to pass the SAVE America Act.
