A Supreme Court case examining state deadlines for election ballots sent in the mail is just the tip of the spear in President Donald Trump’s war on mail-in voting. On Monday, Trump’s top Supreme Court lawyer will argue in support of a challenge to Mississippi’s mail ballot deadline that was brought by the Republican National Committee. Employees direct traffic to where voters can drop off their mail-in ballots in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on November 4, 2024. A loss in the Supreme Court could further enrage a president who recently fumed at the justices for not overturning his 2020 electoral defeat. They argue that if the Supreme Court were to accept the GOP’s logic, it would make it impermissible for states to offer mail-in voting or even early in-person voting.
