(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced that it filed a brief asking the Supreme Court of the United States to affirm that federal law makes it illegal for states to count ballots that arrive after Election Day.
The brief arises in the Supreme Court’s review of a landmark Judicial Watch election integrity case brought on behalf of the Libertarian Party of Mississippi. The case seeks to uphold a ruling by the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which struck down a Mississippi law unconstitutionally allowing election officials to count mail-in ballots received up to five days after Election Day. The suit was later consolidated with a similar challenge brought by the Republican National Committee (RNC), the Mississippi Republican Party, and others against Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson and local election officials (Watson v. Republican National Committee et al. (No. 24-1260 )) (Libertarian Party of Mississippi v. Wetzel et al. (No. 1:24-cv-00037)).
