What Happened

This decision provides a significant reprieve for states that have implemented such extensions for their electoral processes.
States such as Oregon and Washington are among those that will be able to continue their practice of counting ballots that arrive after the official Election Day deadline. This ruling affirms the validity of their existing procedures for handling mail-in votes.
