Voting rights advocates score three legal victories but remain on alert against election threats
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a Mississippi law allowing mail ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if received within five business days, preserving similar policies in Nevada and other states. Voting rights advocates celebrated this and two other recent legal victories but remain concerned about potential election restrictions. Trump criticized the ruling and promoted the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship to register to vote but is stalled in the Senate.
