Twitter Facebook The Supreme Court on Thursday put down a challenge to two controversial voting restrictions in Arizona, in a 6-3 decision that gives a foreboding signal to voting rights advocates in the current  polarized political environment. Robert Tsai, a School of Law professor and a Law Alumni Scholar, says the decision makes clear a pathway for creating voting restrictions that will stand up at the court. The court’s decision in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee upheld two restrictions, one requiring election officials to discard the ballots of citizens who vote at the wrong precinct and the other outlawing collection of ballots by campaign workers and others for delivery to polling places, a practice known as “ballot harvesting.” The DNC challenged both rules, saying they would disproportionately affect minority voters.
