The Supreme Court late Wednesday declined to block lower court rulings that allow six extra days for accepting ballots sent by mail in North Carolina, a victory for Democrats in a presidential battleground state. Earlier in the day, in a defeat for Republicans, the court declined to take another look, on a fast track, at the issue of late-arriving mail ballots in Pennsylvania, another tight state, leaving intact a lower court ruling that said the state must count ballots that arrive up to three days after the election. The vote was 5-3, and newly confirmed Justice Amy Coney Barrett didn't take part in either case. |
