The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to take up Watson v. Republican National Committee (RNC), a case that will determine whether mail-in ballots cast before Election Day can be counted if they arrive after the polls close.

As Chris “Law Dork” Geidner stated when he shared the news on his social media accounts on Monday: “…[I]t’s a big [case] over state laws allowing the counting of ballots cast by Election Day but received after then” – as well as whether or not federal election law supercedes state election laws.
The Center for Election Confidence stated in a post on X that it was part of the only amicus brief, alongside nonprofit organizations Honest Elections Project and Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE), supporting the Supreme Court’s decision to take up the case:
??VICTORY.
CEC, @Restoring_USA, and @HonestElections stood alone with the only amicus brief urging SCOTUS to take up Watson v. RNC to confirm that federal law requires ALL ballots to be turned in by Election Day.
Today, SCOTUS agreed to review this important case.
?Onward!…

The game is now afoot. This case – and another SCOTUS is reviewing regarding racially-gerrymandered voting districts – could be the two that break the Democrats’ stranglehold on ‘election irregularities.’
