Arizona has filed its petition with the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate the state's ballot harvesting ban and its out of precinct policies.
Explosively, the 9th Circuit found that the intent of the ban was to discriminate against minorities. It then allowed the state to keep the ballot collection law in place on the condition that it would file this appeal to the Supreme Court by today.
The Petition called that a "a loaded charge with potentially long-term legal, social, and practical consequences."
Attorney General Mark Brnovich said the 9th Circuit should not be allowed to decide how Arizona safeguards its elections. "This lawsuit has broad implications for the rest of the country, and we are optimistic the Supreme Court will take this case and provide clarity for the rule of law."
