Business Insider reports that the Supreme Court will allow Pennsylvania to count mail-in ballots received up to three days after Election Day. <br />According to the New York Times, this is a win for Pennsylvania Democrats, who requested over a million more absentee ballots, than registered Republicans.<br />The ruling lacked a GOP majority to side with an attempt to block the measure, which would have sent the decision back to the state Supreme Court. <br />The split ruling shows how big of a role Amy Coney Barrett could have in major decisions like the Presidential election. <br />The federal judge is expected to be confirmed to the Supreme Court next week.<br />Pennsylvania ballots that are mailed on or before Election Day, will now be counted, even if their postmarks are missing or illegible. <br />Pennsylvania is one of three swing states, that includes Michigan and Wisconsin.
