Judicial Watch is taking its election integrity fight to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court just agreed to hear Judicial Watch’s appeal for a case filed on behalf of Congressman Mike Bost in two presidential electors. Challenging an Illinois law, extending election day for 14 days beyond the date established by federal law. The lower courts had previously denied that Congressman Bost and the electors had standing to challenge Illinois’s practice of counting ballots received for up to two weeks after election day. In the lawsuit, Judicial Watch argues, despite Congress’s clear statement regarding a single national election day, Illinois has expanded election day by extending by 14 days the date for receipt and counting of vote-by-mail ballots.

Judicial Watch President Tom Fidden had this to say about the upcoming Supreme Court action. The Supreme Court’s decision to hear this case is a critical opportunity to uphold federal law, protect voter rights, and ensure election integrity. Illinois’ 14-day extension of election day, towards federal law, violates the civil rights of voters and invites fraud. Last year, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed with Judicial Watch that it was unlawful for Mississippi to count ballots that arrived after election day. Visit judicialwatch.org to learn more.
