The Supreme Court will consider whether an Illinois Republican congressman and two federal electors can challenge the state's protocols for counting mail-in ballots received after Election Day.

U.S. Rep. Mike Bost, R-Muphysboro, and two Illinois delegates to the Republican National Convention first filed the lawsuit against the Illinois State Board of Elections in May 2022 — alleging that counting ballots after the election violated federal election law.

Supreme Court agrees to take a case challenging whether federal courts are allowed to hear disputes over ballots received after Election Day.
