The late counting of ballots has become a national scandal in many states.  In 2020, the presidential race was thrown into turmoil when the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended the deadline by which mail-in ballots must be received.

Eighteen states still accept mailed ballots received AFTER Election Day. Thankfully, the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed with no dissenting votes to hear a challenge to an outrageous Illinois law that allows ballots received up to 14 days after Election Day to be counted.

The House passed a bill in April – with four Democrats voting in favor – to restrict the practice nationwide.

President Trump has also issued an executive order that would withhold federal funding from states that count ballots that arrive after Election Day.

The Supreme Court has stepped in and will decide once and for all if the concept of “Election Day” still has real meaning.
