Federal court ruling

Thursday evening, a federal appeals court ruled ballots received after 8 p.m. on Election Day must be set aside and could face legal challenges that may prevent them from being counted. Previously, the state said ballots postmarked by Election Day and received by Nov. 10 would be counted. Learn more.
