High Court Upholds Ban On Ballot Harvesting

The U.S. Supreme Court is upholding Arizona’s ban on ballot harvesting, which has significant implications for Texas. Rice University political analyst Mark Jones says a similar ban will come up in the special session, which starts next week. Ballot harvesting is when advocacy groups collect voters’ mail-in ballots. The high court ruled that Arizona’s ban is not racially discriminatory. Jones says that gives Texas Republicans the green light to push for changes to the state’s voting policies.
