The Supreme Court seemed
receptive on Oct. 8 to a Republican congressman’s argument that he should
be allowed to challenge an Illinois law that allows the counting of ballots
for two weeks after Election Day.
Arguments in the case focused on the question of legal standing, as opposed
to the merits of the lawsuit contesting the Illinois statute.
