Republican Party Files Brief in U.S. Supreme Court in Mississippi Case over the Meaning of “Election Day”

On August 11, the Republican National Committee filed this brief in the U.S. Supreme Court in Watson v Republican National Committee, 24-1260. The issue is the 1872 federal law that tells states to hold congressional elections in all districts in November of even-numbered years. The Fifth Circuit had ruled that, therefore, states must require all absentee ballots to be received by the end of election day. It had struck down a Mississippi law allowing ballots to arrive three days after the election.

The Libertarian Party of Mississippi is also in the case, on the side of the Republican National Committee. The Libertarian Party filed its own brief.
