Who is the Republican-appointed district court judge who ruled in favor of Mississippi on July 28, 2024, upholding the state's ballot receipt grace period?

Question

Accepted Answer

Judge Louis Guirola of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi ruled in favor of Mississippi on July 28, 2024 in a 24-page opinion. Guirola, a senior-status judge first appointed by President George W. Bush, found that Mississippi's statutory procedure for counting lawfully cast absentee ballots "is consistent with federal law and does not conflict with the Elections Clause, the Electors' Clause, or the election-day statutes." He ruled that "all that occurs after election day is the delivery and counting of ballots cast on or before election day." The RNC appealed to the Fifth Circuit, which reversed his ruling on October 25, 2024.
