JUDICIAL WATCH URGES SUPREME COURT TO REVIEW MIKE BOST’S CHALLENGE TO ILLINOIS MAIL-IN VOTING LAWS

Judicial Watch is requesting the U.S. Supreme Court to review a case initiated by Rep. Mike Bost, which contests Illinois’ law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted up to 14 days post-election. Bost argues this violates federal election laws by extending the counting period beyond Election Day. Two lower courts dismissed Bost’s claims, ruling he lacked standing. Judicial Watch contends the appellate court erred, asserting that Bost incurred costs monitoring the ballot count and that the decision could affect future elections. The group sees Bost’s case as a crucial opportunity for the Supreme Court to clarify mail-in voting regulations, emphasizing the need for public confidence in election integrity.
