On June 2, the U.S. Supreme Court revealed that it had postponed deciding on whether to hear Republican National Committee v Genser, 24-786. The Court will consider it again at its June 5 conference. This is the case in which the Pennsylvania Supreme Court had ruled that if a voter forgets to list the date on the outer envelope (so that the ballot is invalid), that same party may then vote provisionally.

The Republican Party argues in the U.S. Supreme Court that state courts should not be allowed to rule on election lawsuits involving congressional elections.

On June 2, the U.S. Supreme Court revealed that on May 29, it had decided to hear Bost v Illinois State Board of Elections, 24-568. The original issue in the case had been a challenge to the 2005 Illinois law that allowed postal ballots to be counted if they had been received after election day, but had been postmarked by election day. The lower federal courts had held that the plaintiffs, who were Republican Party nominees for U.S. House and presidential elector, did not have standing to challenge the law. Here is the cert petition.

The plaintiffs are only asking the U.S. Supreme Court to rule that candidates do have standing to challenge election laws; they are not asking the Court to decide the original issue of whether states can count ballots that arrive after election day. Assuming the Court rules in favor of standing for candidates, that would be helpful to plaintiffs in many types of election law lawsuits.

On May 30, the Socialist Workers Party submitted 3,200 signatures to the New Jersey Elections Department, for the purpose of being on the November 2025 ballot for Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Other parties that are still petitioning for the same election are Green and Libertarian. The requirement is 2,000. The requirement was raised from 800 earlier this year.

The petition deadline this year is June 10.
