Fresh off an election in which former President Donald Trump made false claims of fraud, the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to ponder the legality of a restriction on early voting in Arizona that his fellow Republicans argued was needed to combat fraud.
The Republican-backed law, spurred in part by a video purportedly showing voter fraud that courts later deemed misleading, made it a crime to provide another person’s completed early ballot to election officials, with the exception of family members or caregivers.
Community activists sometimes engage in ballot collection to facilitate voting and increase voter turnout. Ballot collection is legal in most states, with varying limitations. Republican critics call the practice “ballot harvesting.”
Supreme Court arguments over the 2016 ban and another Arizona voting restriction - both ruled unlawful by a lower court - are scheduled for next Tuesday, with a decision due by the end of June. A broad ruling by high court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, endorsing the restrictions could further weaken the Voting Rights Act, a landmark 1965 federal law that barred racial discrimination in voting, by making it harder to prove violations.
The video, taken from security camera footage, shows a man carrying a box of ballots into a Maricopa County Elections Department office. It was posted on a blog in 2014 by A.J. LaFaro, the Republican Party chairman at the time in Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix.

Andrew Chung, useful idiot author of this state media propaganda piece. Likely either a trust funder or loves the CCP. Maybe both.
SCOTUS and the GOP are the MOST HATED institutions
in the history of the USA.
they GLIBLY sold out Americans to China and Malta
for counterfeit money, ballots, and stolen (raped) children.
The backstabbing treason of SCOTUS and the GOP
WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
What a complete piece of toilet paper writing. It’s sickening and infuriating that the lies are being pushed into “truth”. We are in a great deal of trouble if we don’t stop it. I see very little hope for 2022/24.
Someday hopefully, the pendulum is going to swing the other way.. I sure hope I'm around to see it..
We will see how much the Court is willing to twist logic to favor Democrats on this.
WHERE IS THE BARF ALERT??
Fresh off a news story in which former reporter Andrew Chung made false claims about being a news "reporter..."
Wipe your chin, Andrew.
Oh, I’m sure the Court that was so stand-offish when Republicans challenged Democrat fraud will eagerly get involved in every little detail if it will help the Democrats.
Where is the evidence that former President Donald Trump made false claims of fraud?
Where are the results of a forensic analysis of the original paper ballots?
Did they verify that the voter was registered, had a valid in state address, was of age, still alive? Did they perform a signature check?
Has Reuters providied the detailed evidence that shows that there were no "show stopper" election irregularities such as outright voter fraud, ballot mishandling, contestable process fouls, equal protection clause violations, voting machine irregularities, and significant statistical anomalies?
Where are the results of deep audits and forensic examination of the voting machines?
Election integrity concerns are a show stopper for the 2020 election. These concerns must be put away by presenting the genuine and detailed evidence that all was well, or identifying and fixing irregularities.
The claim that there was no fraud is irresponsible journalism.
Fresh off Reuters falsely denying obvious election fraud....
So-called “Community activists” frequently engage in ballot harvesting to facilitate election fraud. Ballot harvesting is illegal in most states and needs to be made illegal everywhere.
If the Supreme Court were to uphold the ban on ballot harvesting it would further strengthen the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment by preventing legitimate ballots from being negated by fraudulent ballots obtained through ballot harvesting.
There. I rewrote the article to be accurate this time.
What matters is the Goebbels' tactic of repeating and repeating the narrative until it becomes gravitas ... I mean speaking truth to power ... I mean, Russia, Russia, Russia ... er, I mean .... " ... former President Donald Trump made false claims of fraud, ..."
Which is why we're not allowed to look at the mail-in ballots in Maricopa County, Fulton County, Wayne County and Filthadelphia.
It's already been proven that the Wisconsin ballots were fraudulent.
“DNC newspuppet”
Typical,Reuters. “False,claim so you are,a,false news service.
FAKE NEWS !!!
The U.S. Supine Court makes a mockery of justice.
And where there is no justice, there is no freedom.
