The U.S. Supreme Court considered whether to hear Watson v Republican National Committee, 24-1260, at its October 17 conference. But the order list of October 20 shows that the Court didn’t decide whether to hear it, and will relist it. This is the case in which the Fifth Circuit had invalidated the state law that says absentee ballots are valid if they arrive within three days of election day. The Fifth Circuit interpreted an 1872 federal law to mean that all ballots must be received by election day. No other court had ever come to that conclusion.
