Supreme Court Hears Case on Election Day Ballot Deadlines
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments on March 23, 2026, in a case challenging Mississippi's law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if received within five days after the election. As of March 23, 2026, a decision is anticipated by the end of June, which could affect similar laws in up to 28 states. This case is distinct from the recall of approximately 960 cartons of McCafé Premium Roast Decaf K-Cup Pods, initiated by Keurig Dr Pepper in December 2025, which affects over 80,000 individual pods sold exclusively through Amazon and was classified as a Class II recall by the FDA on January 23, 2026.
