- Donald Trump criticized the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision to uphold a Mississippi law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but received afterward to be counted.
- Trump labeled the ruling a "tremendous loss" and leveraged it to push for "THE SAVE AMERICA ACT," a voting restriction bill he asserts is necessary to combat "CHEATING."
- The proposed "SAVE AMERICA ACT" faces significant opposition in the Senate, lacking support from all Democrats and several Republicans due to its restrictive provisions on voter registration and postal ballots.
- Justice Amy Coney Barrett penned the majority opinion, affirming that federal statutes do not override Mississippi's measure, which was originally enacted in 2020 to accommodate voting during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Trump has consistently misrepresented mail-in voting as a fraudulent practice favoring Democrats, despite the absence of evidence for widespread voter fraud, as these ballots statistically tend to lean Democratic.
