5th Circuit court ruling shuts down state laws allowing absentee ballots to be received after Election Day | Blaze Media: 

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a major ruling affecting absentee ballot laws only 11 days before Election Day. Some states have expanded election regulations in order to allow the counting of ballots received after Election Day as long as they are postmarked by the election date. The ruling ends that practice and forces states to only count absentee ballots received by Election Day.
