seems pretty straight forward to me.
In its ruling Friday, a panel of 5th Circuit judges reversed a lower court ruling and wrote that the acceptance of ballots ends on the “election day” designated by Congress.
“Text, precedent, and historical practice confirm this ‘day for the election’ is the day by which ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state officials,” the court wrote. “Because Mississippi’s statute allows ballot receipt up to five days after the federal election day, it is preempted by federal law.”
I dont see how this doesnt end up before the SC since different states allow for ballots to be recieved days, even weeks after election DAY
