Mike Bost challenging Illinois\u2019 mail-in voting law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bost and a pair of Illinois primary delegates for President Donald Trump sued the Illinois State Board of Elections in 2022, arguing that the state\u2019s law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted after Election Day violates the federal law establishing an \u201cElection Day.\u201d Both a lower federal trial court and federal appeals court have ruled Bost lacked standing to sue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/qp\/24-00568qp.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supreme Court said<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> its ruling will focus on whether Bost, of Murphysboro, in his role as a political candidate has legal grounds to sue over a state\u2019s election law, rather than if Illinois\u2019 mail-in voting law is legal, because the appeal challenges lower court rulings that Bost did not have legal grounds to sue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A favorable ruling for Bost by the Supreme Court could force lower courts to issue a ruling about Illinois\u2019 law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWith the American people\u2019s confidence in our elections at a discouraging low point, it\u2019s more important than ever we work to restore their trust,\u201d Bost said in a statement. \u201cI believe a big part of that effort is ensuring all votes are tallied by Election Day, not days or weeks later. I am thankful the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear my appeal of Illinois\u2019 election law.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not clear when the nation\u2019s high court will hear Bost\u2019s case. The court is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/oral_arguments\/2025TermCourtCalendar.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">scheduled<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to begin hearing oral arguments in October.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under Illinois law, ballots postmarked by Election Day can be counted as late as 14 days after the election as they arrive at local election offices. Bost\u2019s case argues this violates the federal law establishing Election Day by allowing votes to arrive and be counted for two weeks after the polls close.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the unfavorable lower court rulings, Judicial Watch kept the fight going to the U.S. Supreme Court after appealing in November. The conservative legal group cited conflicting rulings on mail-in voting in other states and said Bost\u2019s case is \u201can ideal vehicle\u201d for the nation\u2019s high court to decide whether ballots can be counted after Election Day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read more: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/capitolnewsillinois.com\/news\/conservative-group-asks-u-s-supreme-court-to-review-mike-bosts-challenge-to-how-mail-in-votes-are-counted-in-illinois\/\"><b>Conservative group asks U.S. Supreme Court to review Mike Bost\u2019s challenge to how mail-in votes are counted in Illinois<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The filing cited numerous cases from 2020 challenging election laws and outcomes, some of which Judicial Watch was a part of, in efforts to block the counting of mail-in ballots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is an injustice that the courts would deny a federal candidate the ability to challenge an election provision that could lead to illegal votes being cast and counted for two weeks after Election Day,\u201d Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Judicial Watch argues costs for campaigns to monitor ballot counting beyond Election Day constitute harm to candidates for public office that must be addressed by the court. But the Illinois State Board of Elections via the attorney general\u2019s office argued Judicial Watch fails to show Bost negatively suffered because of Illinois\u2019 law, and Bost\u2019s case would not be the right case for the court to use to review mail-in voting laws.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPetitioners have never advanced any allegations that Illinois\u2019s ballot receipt deadline might materially impact their likelihood of prevailing in any election,\u201d the board argued.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a response filing to the board\u2019s request for the court to dismiss the case, Judicial Watch argued the Board of Elections has warned ahead of elections that apparent leads in vote totals can change as late-arriving ballots are counted, meaning election results can change negatively for Bost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the State Board of Elections argued Illinois\u2019 mail-in voting law doesn\u2019t directly regulate candidates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIllinois\u2019s ballot receipt deadline does not regulate petitioners directly as political candidates; it simply recognizes the reality that ballots cast by mail may be delayed,\u201d the board argued.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Winning elections has not been a problem for Bost. He has represented the 12th Congressional District in southern Illinois since 2015 and was reelected in 2024 with nearly 75% of the vote. His district did change slightly in redistricting after the 2020 census.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Judicial Watch said it worried \u201cillegal votes could diminish his margin of victory\u201d and make it appear that he is growing more unpopular with his constituents. The organization also argued Bost filed this case to preemptively correct perceived issues with the vote by mail law.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Republicans in Illinois and at the national level embraced mail-in voting in the 2024 election cycle after pushing back against it in recent years. The Illinois Republican Party joined the Republican National Committee\u2019s \u201cbank your vote\u201d initiative, which encouraged reliable Republican voters to vote early or by mail so campaign resources could be focused on turning out people who were on the fence about voting or who were undecided.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/capitolnewsillinois.com\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Capitol News Illinois<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news service that distributes state government coverage to hundreds of news outlets statewide.
