A Supreme Court ruling on mail-in ballots could land in June — just months before the midterms. FSI Stanford Senior Fellow Nate Persily weighs in on what it means for states, voters, and election administration. https://ow.ly/6IVf50YCxZ3

Supreme Court hears mail-in ballot case that could impact the midterms

The Supreme Court heard a case that could reshape how millions of mail-in ballots are counted in this fall's elections. Some states count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day as long as they are postmarked by Election Day. The Republican National Committee is challenging that procedure. Ali Rogin discussed the case with Nate Persily, an election law scholar at Stanford University.
