A ruling about whether Mississippi can count postmarked mail ballots that arrive after Election Day could have a "national impact," according to a former federal prosecutor

On Tuesday, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals is to hear oral argument in RNC v. Wetzel, a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Convention to disallow the counting of ballots that are received after Election Day in Mississippi.

Mississippi counts mail-in ballots that are received up to five business days after an election as long as they are postmarked on or before Election Day.

Writing on her Substack blog on Monday, former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance said that the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals' judgment could have a widespread impact

"Remember, this is the Fifth Circuit, a court with a propensity for reaching maximalist results when a more narrow ruling would have served and enabling the Supreme Court to go off on a tangent, like it did when it reversed Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs case, which also came out of Mississippi," Vance wrote.

It seems to me the US Constitution is very clear about the election being on one day.

With today's technology, a postmark is way too easily faked. If someone is worried, that can vote in person on election day, or vote at the registrar's office.

I receive a lot of mail with no postmark,
or with no date in the postmark.
