Republicans are trying to overturn a Mississippi law that allows absentee mail-in ballots to be counted so long as they are postmarked by Election Day and received within five business days after.
In short, they’re trying to outright cancel valid ballots and blame voters for the speed of mail — something they have zero control over.
Here’s what’s really going on: Mississippi Republicans are getting scared.
They saw how close the recent governor’s race was, and are noticing that the tides are turning in the Magnolia State — so they’re referring back to the GOP playbook, counting on voter suppression tactics to give them an edge in future elections.
