Conservative Fifth Circuit Panel to Hear Challenge to Mississippi Mail Voting Law

A conservative panel of the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals is set to hear a challenge to Mississippi's law that allows for the receipt of mail ballots after election day. The panel, consisting of three extreme right-wing Trump appointees—Judges Ho, Duncan, and Oldham—will hear arguments next week. This case could quickly become a national issue and potentially make its way to the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). If the challengers succeed, it could upend mail voting this fall.
