The RNC is litigating a case called Watson that involves a genuine legal dispute about mail-in voting. The case specifically addresses whether federal election statutes prevent states from counting mail ballots received after Election Day. The Supreme Court did have 8 cases remaining to decide at one point in its term, which aligns with typical end-of-term scheduling. However, the characterization of the RNC's legal position as seeking to force states to throw out "hundreds of thousands" of ballots goes beyond what the case documents support. The litigation centers on a legal interpretation question about federal preemption of state election rules—a real dispute, but describing it in terms of specific ballot counts or outcomes overstates what the RNC's legal arguments actually demand. The framing of the RNC's position as driven by "partisan advantage" reflects commentary on the case's political context rather than a neutral description of the legal dispute itself.
