- Trump unloads after Supreme Court upholds late mail-in ballots in Mississippi
President Trump criticized the Supreme Court's decision to uphold Mississippi's law allowing mail-in ballots received up to five days after Election Day. The ruling in Watson v. RNC opposed Trump's push for stricter election rules, prompting him to demand the immediate passage of the SAVE America Act, which would require voter ID and restrict mail-in voting. Trump accused several senators of opposing the bill to enable 'cheating,' while Senator Bill Cassidy, a co-sponsor of the act, disputed Trump's claims.
- Trump unloads after Supreme Court upholds late mail-in ballots in Mississippi
President Donald Trump criticized a Supreme Court ruling that upheld Mississippi's law allowing mail-in ballots received up to five days after Election Day to be counted. Trump argued the decision, which opposed his push for stricter election rules, necessitates immediate congressional action to pass the SAVE America Act, a bill requiring voter ID and restricting no-excuse mail-in voting. The ruling included a rebuke from Justice Amy Coney Barrett, a Trump appointee, who rejected arguments for stricter ballot deadlines.
