Federal judge sets oral arguments for December, too late to affect the Nov. 8 general election’s vote count.
of mailed general election ballots that are cast by Illinois voters, including military members serving overseas, and postmarked on or before Election Day but received by election authorities afterward.Federal lawsuit threatens validity of potentially tens of thousands of Illinois mail-in, military ballotsThe lawsuit, led by four-term U.S. Rep.
At issue is a 2015 state law that allows vote-by-mail ballots to be counted if they are received within 14 days after Election Day if they were postmarked on or before the final day of voting. If the ballots lack a postmark or if it is illegible, ballots can be counted if the voter dated and signed the ballot on or before Election Day.
The lawsuit contends the Illinois law violates federal law that establishes the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of even-numbered years as Election Day for federal elections. The suit further contends that the Illinois law subjects Bost to harm, including expenses for post-Election Day poll watchers and the possibility that mail-in ballots counted during the 14-day period “dilutes” the “timely” votes cast up to and including Election Day.
