Supreme Court to decide on grace period for mail-in ballots and limits on campaign funding

The Supreme Court is wrapping up a term that has focused on President Donald Trump’s expansive claims of presidential power. Trump’s efforts to restrict birthright citizenship, fire the heads of most independent agencies at will and remove a sitting Federal Reserve governor are among the remaining eight cases the justices are expected to decide this week, beginning Monday. Two election-related cases remain, over state laws that allow a grace period for the receipt of mailed ballots, provided they are sent by Election Day, and limits on political party spending in support of candidates for Congress and president.
