Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday used the Supreme Court’s 4-4 ruling on Pennsylvania’s mail-in ballots as an opportunity to rail against Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett, who, if confirmed at the end of October, may well tip the balance of the highest court in favor of conservatives.

On Monday, the Supreme Court split 4-4 in allowing Pennsylvania to continue to count mail-in ballots three days after Election Day as long as they are postmarked by Nov. 3.
