The U.S. Supreme Court has reinstated a new Arizona that makes it a felony to collect early ballots.

Saturday's order from the nation's highest court overturns an appeals court decision a day earlier that blocked the new law. The decision is a blow to Democratic get-out-the-vote efforts and groups that had already geared up to help voters deliver their ballots to the polls.



Democrats allege the law hurts minorities' ability to vote.

The decisions come just days ahead of a presidential election that has Arizona Democrats hoping to win the traditionally Republican state.

It was so close in AZ that this could be decisive.

I assume that they will have to return any ballots still in their possession and provide transportation for people to turn it in themselves.

1. How Did SCOTUS Judges Vote?.....

Why wasn't this a 4-4 tie vote? How did it get to SCOTUS so fast?

2. Didn't say. Kennedy referred it.

To be fair they declined an emergency motion and did not rule on the merits.
