Supreme Court upholds voting restrictions in Arizona 6-3
The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld two voting laws in Arizona passed to ensure election integrity.
The court ruled 6-3 for the Republican-passed legislation, saying that the bills do not violate the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
The ruling validated a provision restricting early ballot collection by third parties, also called “ballot harvesting,” and another that discards ballots cast in-person at the wrong precinct, reversing a lower court ruling that said the measures would be racially discriminatory.
