How Supreme Court decisions are shaping the election

Tue, 27 Oct 2020

Description

On Monday night, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5–3 decision that Wisconsin mail-in ballots postmarked by November 3 but received after Election Day cannot be counted. The Guardian has the story. The Washington Post and NBC offer overviews of the court’s recent election-related decisions. Vox explains how the recent ruling on Pennsylvania mail-in ballots may only be a temporary victory for Democrats and voting-rights advocates. Nina Totenberg writes for NPR about the court’s decision to side with Alabama state officials and allow a ban on curbside voting to stand. The Washington Post reports on the court’s order that South Carolina mail-in ballots must have a witness signature, and some of the confusion that resulted from this ruling. Mark Joseph Stern writes for Slate about how Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation could have drastic implications for how states run their elections.
