SUMMARY: A federal appeals court has reinstated a lawsuit challenging Mississippi’s absentee ballot policy, which counts ballots postmarked by Election Day but received within five days thereafter. The ruling, however, is unlikely to impact the upcoming November 5 election, as it will take time for appeals to be processed. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a July ruling that dismissed the case, sending it back for further action. While the state law has bipartisan support, concerns were raised about its effects on voting integrity. The lawsuit’s outcome could have implications for similar laws in other states.
