(Undated) -- The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a lawsuit challenging Illinois' law regarding mail-in ballots.
A suit filed by a downstate Congressman and two GOP officials seeks to block Illinois from allowing mail-in ballots to be counted up to two weeks after Election Day, as long as they were postmarked or certified on or before that day.
The lawsuit was previously rejected by the U.S. District Court and the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Both ruled the litigants lacked legal standing to challenge the law.
