Supreme Court has not invalidated state laws on ballots received after Election Day

Millions of Americans vote by mail, but some social media users are claiming ahead of the 2026 US midterm elections that the Supreme Court has indicated it will invalidate state laws permitting ballots received after November 3 to be counted. This is false; while states have different deadlines for when votes can arrive, the nation's highest court upheld their right in June to allow counting of ballot packages postmarked by Election Day.
