Justices to consider whether Arizona’s voting rules discriminate against minorities

The 2020 elections may be over, but the Supreme Court will soon hear oral argument in a pair of voting-rights cases from one of last year’s key battleground states, and the eventual outcome may determine how courts will assess allegedly discriminatory voting rules for years to come.

The cases challenge two Arizona voting provisions: a policy that requires an entire ballot to be thrown out if the ballot was cast at the wrong precinct, and a state law that bans the collection of ballots by third parties, sometimes called “ballot harvesting.” The challengers argue that both the policy and the law discriminate against racial minorities in Arizona, and the justices’ eventual ruling obviously could affect how the state carries out its elections going forward. More broadly, though, the justices could also weigh in on the proper test for evaluating voting-rights claims like these, which could have a sweeping effect nationwide.

The cases, Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee and Arizona Republican Party v. Democratic National Committee, have been consolidated for one hour of argument. The court will hear the cases on March 2.

If SCOTUS rules against this BS of ballot harvesting I hope it will then also affect CA. !!

Don’t forget the coming WuFlu Vaccine Passports. How can you have ‘travel papers’ if you don’t have ID? But voting...meh...anything goes.

Discriminate against minorities? Not for long.

Give Joe Biden a couple years and illegals will be in the majority.

California is apparently demanding signature verification for the recall.
