Quick Update On Brnovich V. DNC
I've been sitting on this since writing about the Arizona election law case that was argued before the SCOTUS on March 2 (Briefly Noted: Arizona Election Law Case In SCOTUS ). Zerohedge carried a fairly thorough summary of the case along with an account of the oral arguments:
Supreme Court Appears Favorable To Arizona Election Integrity Laws
For our purposes, the first few paragraphs will do--things look fairly optimistic:
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich urged the Supreme Court on March 2 to affirm that his state’s electoral integrity laws were consistent with the federal Voting Rights Act and should be upheld.
The case Arizona’s top prosecutor argued is actually two consolidated cases: Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Arizona Republican Party v. DNC.
Although the justices peppered counsel for Arizona and the state’s Republican Party with at-times hostile-sounding questions, members of the Supreme Court seemed receptive to their arguments. Except for the more liberal members, the justices did not seem convinced that Arizona’s election laws violated the Voting Rights Act.
