In a 5-4 decision, the Court said states can allow post–Election Day receipt of mail ballots. It will boost Trump’s crusade for the SAVE America Act.

In a surprise decision across ideological lines, the Supreme Court is saving a grace period for ballots received after Election Day.

The court’s ruling means state laws that allow ballots to be received after Election Day can stand.

Trump reacted to a major Supreme Court loss by pressuring five Republicans to flip their positions on the SAVE America Act.
