There will be just one Election Day for this fall’s midterm elections — Nov. 3. But voters in 14 states, including Oregon, who cast their votes by mail will be given a grace period ranging from a day later to several weeks in which their ballots can be received and counted.
Whether that extra time should be allowed is at the heart of a case that will be argued Monday before the U.S. Supreme Court. If the court strikes down those grace periods, it will leave those states — and their voters — scrambling to adjust with only a few months before absentee ballots are sent out for this fall’s midterm elections.
