A Virginia circuit court ruled the state’s late mail-in ballot law was illegal and banned the law from future state elections, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) announced Monday. Virginia Circuit Court Judge William Eldridge ruled the state’s late mail-in ballot law violated state statute, and in the future Virginia could not accept and count late absentee ballots missing postmarks. “This is a big win for the Rule of Law,” PILF President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams said in a statement.
