Analysis Summary
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that states can count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day as long as they were postmarked by Election Day, upholding a Mississippi law and rejecting a Republican-led challenge. Justice Barrett and Roberts sided with the three liberal justices. The ruling protects mail-in voting procedures in more than half the states and came as a setback to Trump's political agenda to restrict mail voting, though Trump won a separate victory the same day on executive power.

“Justice Barrett and Justice Roberts joined the three liberals.”
Corroborating sources confirm the 5-4 split rejected a Republican/Trump-led challenge. Barrett and Roberts' joining the three liberal justices is the only alignment that yields 5-4 rejection of GOP challenge.
