Judge rejects GOP challenge of Mississippi timeline for counting absentee ballots
SUMMARY: A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit by the Republican National Committee aimed at blocking Mississippi from counting absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day, even if received up to five days later. U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. stated that Mississippi’s procedures align with federal law and do not conflict with the Elections Clause. This ruling follows a similar dismissal in Nevada. The RNC and others argued that such practices diluted valid ballots, but the judge clarified that all ballots counted had to be cast by Election Day, emphasizing the legality of Mississippi’s voting procedures.
