Last week inBrnovich v. Democratic National Committee, the Supreme Court concluded that states could enact commonsense and necessary protections to ensure the integrity of their electoral systems. States such as Georgia, Iowa and Florida can rest assured that specious challenges to their legitimate efforts to guarantee the sanctity of the vote will not be supported by activist judges.
The Supreme Court overturned a decision by the Ninth Circuit striking down two policies Arizona uses to protect voting. First, the Supreme Court ruled that Arizona’s policy requiring in-person voters to vote in their designated precincts did not violate the Voting Rights Act. Second, the Court ruled that the Voting Rights Act did not prohibit Arizona from limiting who could handle mail ballots.
