Congressmember Michael Bost Files U.S. Supreme Court Brief on Standing

On July 22, Illinois Congressmember Michael Bost filed his brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in Bost v Illinois State Board of Elections, 24-568. The issue is whether he had standing to challenge the Illinois law that postal ballots should be counted if they arrive within 14 days of the election, assuming they are postmarked by election day. The lower courts had ruled that he does’t have standing to challenge the Illinois law.

His brief makes a forceful statement that candidates always have standing to challenge election laws that affect them. The case will be argued in the fall of 2025.

  2. That is a sold brief. I’m surprised by how it approaches standing for everyone, categorically. Very powerful.

  3. There is no way anything should be counted after election night. Another reason to get rid of “going postal” ballots, which are also prone to fraud in being filled out as well as counted.
