On November 10, 2025, the Supreme Court of the United States granted certiorari in one case:
Watson v. Republican National Committee, No. 24-1296: This election law case addresses the validity of a Mississippi state law—similar to laws in many other states—allowing mail-in ballots to be counted if the ballots are received within five business days after election day. The question presented is: Whether the federal election-day statutes, 2 U.S.C. § 7, 2 U.S.C. § 1, and 3 U.S.C. § 1, preempt a state law that allows ballots that are cast by federal election day to be received by election officials after that day.
