Federal judge upholds Minnesota’s extended ballot counting

Associated Press  

MINNEAPOLIS — A federal judge has upheld a Minnesota state court agreement that allows the counting of absentee ballots received up to seven days after Election Day. Republicans had asked U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel to block the seven-day extension that said ballots postmarked on or before Election Day must be counted. Before the consent decree, state law required absentee ballots to be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day. Brasel rejected a variety of the plaintiffs’ claims, including their assertion that it would dilute the value of their own votes by counting “unlawful” ballots after Election Day.
