The Nevada Supreme Court ruled Monday that mail-in ballots with smudged, indecipherable, or missing postmarks can be counted for up to three days after polls close on Election Day. The state’s highest court rejected a bid by state and national Republicans, Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, and a voter, Scott Johnston, to block them from being counted. Among the GOP arguments was that mail ballots unfairly benefit Democratic voters, the AP reports. The court challenge came after Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar, a Democrat, told county election officials in May that ballots without a visible postmark should be counted until 5pm the Friday after Election Day.
