Breaking: SCOTUS Rules Mail-In Ballots Can Be Counted After Election Day
At 8:12 · chapter starts 1:00
Megyn Kelly opens the show with what she calls breaking news: a 5-4 Supreme Court decision upholding a Mississippi law that allows mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be received and counted within five business days. The ruling is immediately striking, she notes, because the Trump administration found itself on the opposite side of a Mississippi state law — a sign of how tangled the politics are. Kelly connects the ruling to a broader pattern she says conservatives know intuitively: late-arriving ballots consistently benefit Democrats, and she points to the California mayoral race involving Nithya Raman as a case in point. The real outrage, she argues, is that the 6-3 conservative majority functionally collapsed because Trump appointee Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion, joining Roberts and the three liberal justices. Kelly reads Barrett's holding — that Election Day statutes set no ballot-receipt deadline — alongside Alito's blistering dissent warning of 'lamentable consequences' and a 'slurry of troubling election law questions.' The segment closes with Alito's oral-argument framing that every 'Day' in American law — Labor Day, Memorial Day, Election Day — refers to one single day.

Barrett and Roberts Betray Conservatives on Mail-In Ballots
The Supreme Court just ruled that ballots postmarked by Election Day can be counted days later — authored by Trump's own appointee Amy Coney Barrett. Conservatives had a 6-3 majority that functionally collapsed to 4-3 the moment Barrett and Roberts crossed the aisle.
Alito's Blistering Dissent: 'Lamentable Consequences'
Alito's dissent called the ruling 'inconsistent with statutory text, legal context, historical practice, and precedent' — and predicted it would spawn a slurry of troubling election law questions that further undermine confidence in election integrity. His oral argument framing was simple: Labor Day, Memorial Day, and Election Day are all single days.
Barrett wrote majority opinion against conservatives
Trump appointee Amy Coney Barrett authored the court's majority opinion in the mail-in ballot case, siding with the three liberal justices and Chief Justice Roberts.
