Brennan Center releases report analyzing impact of potential grace period elimination

The Brennan Center for Justice publishes a comprehensive report analyzing the potential impact of eliminating mail ballot grace periods nationwide. The report estimates that 1.8 million voters could be disenfranchised if grace periods are eliminated, with disproportionate impact on voters in rural areas, voters with disabilities, and communities of color. The report becomes a main resource for state legislators crafting emergency response legislation. Election officials cite the data in amicus briefs filed with the Supreme Court.
