Groups seek a new hearing on a Mississippi mail-in ballot lawsuit
SUMMARY: A federal appeals court panel ruled that Mississippi cannot count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but arriving later. Two groups, the Vet Voice Foundation and Mississippi Alliance for Retired Americans, are seeking a rehearing, arguing the panel misinterpreted laws, noting that counting such ballots has historical precedence dating back to the Civil War. While the ruling didn’t affect the Nov. 5 election, it could have broader implications if the Supreme Court intervenes. Mississippi’s election law, which allows counting of timely ballots received after Election Day, has support from both political parties, despite challenges from Republicans and Libertarians.

SUMMARY: Supporters gathered Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, to honor Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist fatally shot on Sept. 10 in Utah. Hosted by Kirk’s Turning Point USA, the free memorial expected tens of thousands, with enhanced security in place. Notable attendees included Donald Trump, JD Vance, and several prominent Republicans. Kirk’s widow, Erika, now Turning Point’s leader, vowed to continue his work. Christian musicians performed as attendees wore red, white, or blue. Kirk, a provocative MAGA figure, built a powerful conservative youth movement. The event reflected his lasting influence despite controversy over his rhetoric and politics.
