Roberts joins liberals again in denying relief from PA Supreme Court ruling allowing ballots, even without valid postmarks, to be counted if received three days after Election Day. But as the dissent notes, the issue doesn't go away. If Pennsylvania makes the electoral college difference, and if the vote is close and late ballots matter, expect legal mayhem as everyone awaits the Supreme Court decision challenging those ballots.
