The U.S. Supreme Court left intact a six-day extension for absentee ballots to be received in North Carolina, rejecting Republican calls to block changes imposed by a Democratic-controlled state elections board.

The vote was 5-3, with Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito saying they would have blocked the extension.
