Court: Michigan absentee ballots that come after election wonโt count
LANSING, Mich. โ The Michigan appeals court denied a request to require the counting of absentee ballots received after the time polls close on Election Day, ruling that the battleground state's deadline remains intact despite voters' approval of a constitutional amendment that expanded mail-in voting. The League of Women Voters of Michigan and three voters sued in May, seeking a declaration that absentee ballots be counted as long as they are mailed on or before Election Day and are received within six days of the election. It also said the deadline especially burdens undecided and late-deciding voters and said at least 11 states count ballots sent by Election Day. About 1.75% of ballots were not counted in the recent May local elections because they came in too late. A similar suit โ funded by Priorities USA, a powerful super PAC in Democratic politics โ is pending in the state Court of Claims.
