Groups seeking to allow late-arriving absentee ballots to be counted in Wisconsin are taking their case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The push comes a week after an appeals court determined that none of Wisconsin’s voting laws should be changed because of the coronavirus pandemic. That means absentee ballots will be counted only if they arrive in municipal clerks’ offices by Election Day.
Democrats, their allies and non-partisan groups hope to reinstate a lower-court ruling that would allow absentee ballots to be counted if they arrive after Election Day as long as they are postmarked by then.
