Court to decide mail ballot deadlines as Trump signals Iran talks
The Supreme Court is set to rule on whether absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day can be counted days later, a decision that could reshape voting access for millions. Separately, former President Trump stated Iran has expressed interest in direct negotiations, though details remain sparse.
This ruling will determine key election procedures in battleground states with tight margins, while any shift in U.S.-Iran diplomacy could alter Middle East energy markets and oil prices. Both developments carry high-stakes consequences for global political stability and democratic processes.
Watch for potential diplomatic movement from Tehran and immediate state-level reactions to the court’s decision.
