WASHINGTON D.C. — President Donald Trump issued a statement today regarding the Supreme Court's recent ruling on mail-in ballots. The Court's decision permits states to count mail-in ballots received after Election Day, provided voters mailed them by Election Day. President Trump stated the Supreme Court's action "gives people more time to vote illegally." He subsequently advocated for congressional action. Trump urged legislators to pass election reform measures.
