What was said
"5-4. Very close. Very close. Could have easily gone the other way. Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority opinion and joined Roberts and the liberals."
In Watson v. Republican National Committee, Justice Amy Coney Barrett broke from conservative justices to write the 5-4 majority opinion allowing states to count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day but arriving up to five business days later. The ruling rejected Republican arguments that federal law requires all ballots to be physically received by Election Day.
