I’ve filed a federal lawsuit against the State of California to stop the counting of mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day. The Constitution and federal law mandate a uniform national Election Day—not an Election Week.
Our Founders intended for Election Day to reflect a clear snapshot of public sentiment at a single moment in time. Allowing ballots to trickle in for days—or even weeks—undermines that principle and erodes confidence in our elections.
Voters deserve timely, accurate results—not a dragged-out counting process that raises questions and fuels distrust.
The U.S. Court of Appeals agrees. In a recent decision, the Fifth Circuit ruled that counting ballots received after Election Day violates federal law.
