Supreme Court Amicus Brief Filing

Maher Legal Services, P.C. filed an amicus curiae brief with the Supreme Court of the United States in Watson v. RNC, joining the Mississippi Attorney General’s Office and the Mississippi Secretary of State in support of state authority to ensure military absentee ballots are counted. The brief explains that both state and federal election law permit states to count timely cast military absentee ballots received after the close of Federal Election Day, acknowledging the unique logistical challenges faced by service members, including overseas deployments, service aboard naval vessels, and reliance on military postal systems. Maher Legal argued that, consistent with federal law, states retain the authority to adopt reasonable measures in federal elections to ensure military and overseas voters are not disenfranchised due to circumstances beyond their control.
