Summary
Today's Poll Question at Smerconish.com: Do you agree with the Supreme Court that ballots postmarked by Election Day should count, even if they arrive later? In the wake of a landmark Supreme Court ruling, Michael Smerconish examines what the decision means for future elections, state authority, and public confidence in the voting process. While he disagrees with the policy outcome, he argues the Court reached the correct constitutional result by allowing states to determine how they administer mail ballots. Michael also breaks down the Court's other major decisions affecting executive power, looks ahead to the next wave of election cases—including proof-of-citizenship requirements—and explains why these rulings could shape both the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election.
