The US Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a case brought by the Republican National Committee against Mississippi, challenging its law that allows mail-in ballots to be counted after Election Day. The RNC argues that accepting mail-in ballots that were postmarked on or before Election Day, but that arrived in election offices after that date, “undermines trust in elections.” It’s a specious argument.
The lawsuit was needed, the RNC argues, “to enforce safeguards for mail-in voting.” But the real motivation is much simpler: Trump is obsessed with the fact that he lost the 2020 election. So he continues to claim — despite the evidence — that US elections aren’t secure and that mail-in ballots are riddled with fraud.
