A recent US Supreme Court ruling has brought relief to certain states. These states have a grace period for receiving mail ballots, allowing them to be counted after Election Day. The ruling came after the court rejected an effort by the Republican National Committee, in a case involving the state of Mississippi.

This decision has given an immediate reprieve to states that permit mail ballots to be counted after the election. Further details on the ruling and its implications are available from KPRC 2 in Tomball, TX.
