A federal judge on Monday extended the deadline for mail-in ballots in the upcoming election, the third such statewide ruling in five days.

District Judge William Conley sided with the Democratic National Committee, which wanted the court to block several deadlines including the requirement that polling places receive absentee ballots by 8 p.m. on election day to be counted, as they seek to make mail-in voting easier amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
