'Akin to a natural disaster': Election officials sound alarm over impending SCOTUS mail voting ruling

Chicago — Local election officials from across the country Tuesday warned that the Supreme Court’s pending decision on mail-in ballot grace periods could disrupt the upcoming 2026 midterms and asked a key federal elections agency for assistance.

“I just have to go on the record to say what a disaster that’s going to be during a midterm election,” Dustin Czarny, the election commissioner for Onondaga County, New York, said during an annual meeting between local election officials and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) Tuesday.

“Hear, hear!” Mark Earley, supervisor of elections for Leon County, Florida, said in agreement.
