The Supreme Court announced Monday it will decide a case out of Illinois over the ability to challenge post-Election Day ballot counting, a high-profile cause for President Donald Trump and Republicans.
The appeal, brought by Rep. Mike Bost, R-Ill., and Illinois Republican presidential electors, seeks to revive their challenge to a state law that allows officials to count mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day in federal elections.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit had tossed their case, ruling that Bost and the Republicans could not have the legal right to challenge the state law because they could not show they were harmed by it.
