After a period of failed efforts and failed votes, a procedural vote passed in the US Senate with a 60-40 tally, as seven Democrats and one independent sided with all Republicans to push through a funding solution that would fund most national offices through January.

US Supreme Court to Decide if Authorities Can Accept Delayed Absentee Votes

The legal dispute, Watson v Republican National Committee, addresses a legal objection to a local rule that enables election papers to be valid if they are obtained within one week of voting day.
