Maine’s Supreme Judicial Court held Friday that absentee ballots must arrive at the election office before polls close on Election Day (November 3). If the ballots arrive after the polls close, they will not be counted in the election.
The Alliance for Retired Americans, Vote.org, and two residents of Maine brought this lawsuit on June 24. The plaintiffs filed a complaint against Maine’s Secretary of State and Attorney General. Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.; the Republican National Committee; the National Republican Senatorial Committee; and the Republican Party of Maine later intervened as defendants.
