RightCount Leadership Praises Supreme Court Ruling Safeguarding Mail-in Voting & State-Run Elections

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

September 15, 2026

RALEIGH, N.C. — Former Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, State Chair of RightCount Arizona, and North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory, State Chair of RightCount North Carolina, together issued the following statement today following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to block late-stage federal rules on mail-in ballot administration ahead of the midterm elections:

“The Supreme Court’s ruling is a victory for election stability and the millions of voters who will cast a mail-in ballot this fall. Changing voting rules after an election has effectively started isn't reform, it carries the potential to create administrative chaos, voter confusion, and unnecessary doubt in outcomes. As Justice Kavanaugh rightly emphasized, state and local officials lacked sufficient time to reasonably implement these new federal mandates before Election Day. This decision also reaffirms an important structural principle: our elections are run, state by state, by the officials closest to the voters, not dictated from Washington on an emergency timeline. RightCount will continue to defend the constitutional order that places the states, not federal agencies acting unilaterally, in charge of how Americans vote.”
