The Court Said Counting Late-Arriving Ballots Is Legal. The President Called It 'Cheating.'

After the Supreme Court upheld a state law counting mail ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after it, the president called opposition to ending the practice the only reason being 'CHEATING.' The ruling preserved a decades-old, lawful grace period used in 14 states plus D.C., the 5-4 majority was written by his own appointee Justice Amy Coney Barrett, and documented mail-ballot fraud is vanishingly rare. Madeline rates it False.
