Supremes Uphold Law Banning Ballot Harvesting
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court upheld an Arizona law that banned the practice of indiscriminate ballot harvesting and nullified any ballot cast in the wrong precinct. This was an important step to ensure that states can take reasonable steps to ensure the integrity of the vote within their state. This bolsters the efforts ongoing in Georgia to ensure the integrity of their elections. Three justices dissented claiming the law was racist and would undermine Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA).
