The years-long legal battle over whether Arizona can ban people
from delivering ballots from others in bulk remains in flux and as
contentious as ever. On Jan. 27, the San Francisco-based 9th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals knocked down the state's "ballot
harvesting" law, saying it violated the Voting Rights Act and
disproportionately affects Native American, Hispanic, and African
American voters. But days after lifting the ban, the court
temporarily reinstated it, allowing Arizona officials a chance to
appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. Arizona Attorney General Mark
Brnovich reminded people on Twitter that the state's ban on
collecting ballots from others remains in place, at least for now.
In this week's episode of The Gaggle: An Arizona politics podcast,

future of ballot harvesting in the state, and how it could
impact the 2020 election cycle.  Joining them on the episode
are reporters Mary Jo Pitzl and Andrew Oxford, who explain the
history and current state of the issue.  In this episode
you'll hear:  Why ballot harvesting is so contentious.
