Mississippi and RNC Petition Supreme Court for Certiorari

Mississippi and the Republican National Committee file a petition for writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court, asking the Court to review the Fifth Circuit's ruling. The petition argues that the 1872 federal Election Day statute creates a uniform national standard that preempts state grace periods. Election officials and voting rights advocates begin organizing emergency coordination at the state level, recognizing that a Supreme Court review could reshape mail voting nationwide.
