Case Summary

NOTE: This case is being tracked in close to real time by the Stanford/MIT Healthy Elections Project. So for information, see their tracker.

According to their summary as of 10/31/2020,

Plaintiffs allege that state law requiring that mailed ballots be received, not postmarked, before 7PM on Election Day to be counted is unconstitutional given unique circumstances for Navajo Nation, COVID-19, and USPS reorganizational issues.
