Supreme Court Rejects Pennsylvania GOP's Ballot Deadline Appeal

The transcript discusses a legal battle over mail-in ballot extensions. Initially, a 5-3 vote blocked the extension, but a tie vote later upheld it, allowing ballots to be counted post-election. Despite Republican objections and attempts for a second ruling after Justice Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation, she did not participate in the deliberations. Justices suggested Republicans could appeal post-election, potentially invalidating ballots if successful.
