The U.S. Supreme Court will consideer whether to hear Watson v Republican National Committee, 24-1260, at its October 17 conference. This is the case in which the Republican Party and the Mississippi Libertarian Party are trying to overturn a Mississippi law that says postal ballots may be counted if they arrive by three days after election day. The parties argue that the 1872 law setting congressional election day on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November means that all votes must be in by that day.
