State officials across the U.S. are bracing for potential changes to voting rules close to elections as the Supreme Court considers a case that could impact late-arriving ballots. Francisco Aguilar, the Nevada secretary of state, is among those preparing for a possible shift in how elections are conducted in the final days before voting.
The Supreme Court is currently weighing a Republican-backed challenge to a Pennsylvania state court ruling that allowed election officials to count mail-in ballots received up to three days after Election Day, as long as they were postmarked by Election Day. This case, known as Petitions of Chapman, has significant implications for how states handle late-arriving ballots in future elections.
