The Supreme Court on Monday upheld a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day, rejecting President Donald Trump's attacks on the voting practice, CNN reported.The "unexpected rebuff" in the 5-4 ruling in Watson v. Republican National Committee, was considered a defeat for Trump and Republicans, who have argued that the method should not be used before the midterm elections in November, according to CNN. Trump has asserted that there is widespread fraud involving mail-in ballots, despite no evidence of these claims."The president has repeatedly and falsely equated lengthy vote counts with 'cheating,' including in a recent NBC interview in which he complained about ballot processing in the Los Angeles mayor’s race," CNN reported.Eighteen states and territories, including Mississippi, allow mail ballots to be counted even if they arrive after Election Day, NPR reported. Another twelve states extend that window specifically for ballots coming from overseas, such as those cast by military members. The grace periods exist to protect voters from delays caused by the Postal Service, bad weather, or other unexpected disruptions. The high court wrote in its decision that "nothing in the federal election-day statutes requires ballots to be received by election day."

The Supreme Court upheld a Mississippi law Monday that allows mailed ballots to be counted if they were postmarked by Election Day and received within five business days.The big picture: The justices' ruling could protect voting in states with similar laws this November and is sure to feed President Trump's frequent criticism of voting by mail. The Trump administration backed the law's challengers, arguing that allowing states to count ballots received after Election Day undermines the integrity of federal elections.Driving the news: The court ruled 5-4 to uphold Mississippi's law, with Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh dissenting.Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson defended the state's ballot law, arguing voters need to make their final choice by Election Day, even if officials received the ballot days later.Catch up quick: Federal law sets the Tuesday after the first Monday in November as Election Day, language the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals seized on in ruling against Mississippi's law.However, "[t]he electorate's choice is made when voting is complete, not when ballots are received," Barrett wrote in the majority opinion.Military and overseas voter advocacy groups had warned a decision siding with the 5th Circuit could exacerbate "already significant barriers" to voters abroad.Zoom out: The decision is part of a trio of blockbuster election cases the Supreme Court decided or is set to decide this term, along with its narrowing of a landmark voting rights law and a pending decision over a major GOP challenge to campaign finance restrictions.Go deeper: Supreme Court's final cases loom over Trump's immigration, election hopes

Georgia Republican Senate candidate Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) is parroting President Donald Trump's 2020 election conspiracy theories, even though it's a "losing message," as one data analyst said. Trump's administration staged an FBI raid on the Fulton County elections offices, claiming that they needed all ballots cast to search for election fraud. Speaking to CNN on Monday, however, data analyst Harry Enten made it clear that if Collins wants to win, he should keep his mouth shut about 2020. He's in good company when it comes to the Republican Party, but the rest of America is calling it bunk. "I mean, they just believe this garbage," Enten said about the GOP. "Look at this: GOP that says that the 2020 election was stolen."In 2021, 60 percent of Republicans said that the 2020 election was stolen, and in 2026, that number has risen to 63 percent. Enten said that Collins is "starting to feel a whole lot like Herschel Walker 2.0." Walker lost his election in 2022. He explained that Collins' comments to CNN's Manu Raju make sense in the larger GOP narrative, but when it comes to reality, the rest of America isn't along for the ride. "Most Republicans, despite all of the evidence to the contrary, believe that the 2020 election was, in fact, stolen," said Enten. That's all well and good in a primary, but the general electorate doesn't embrace the sentiment. "The Republican Party [is] all the way over on the right, and the rest of the American public is in the same camp, and the actual — this is the real world we're dealing with here," an animated Enten said. In 2021, 59 percent of Americans didn't believe the election was stolen, and that number has jumped up to 64 percent who said that they don't think the election was stolen. "So what you see is the American people believe in the results, rightfully believe in the results of the 2020 election, and then you have Republicans all the way in another camp. It is a losing message!" he concluded. "That's why I say that Mike Collins is starting to sound like Herschel Walker 2.0," he concluded.
