Supreme Court justices on Wednesday seemed open to reviving a Republican challenge that would allow political candidates to sue over their state's election laws. At issue was whether a Republican congressman from Illinois has the legal right to challenge a law allowing mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day and received within two weeks. Illinois state officials warned that allowing this case to proceed would "cause chaos for the courts." The case is one of several brought by allies of President Trump, who has falsely blamed mail-in voting as a reason for his 2020 election loss. The court is expected to rule on the case by next June.
