Arizona Supreme Court declines to consider request by the Arizona Republican Party to eliminate early voting system used by 90% of the state’s voters.
The court ruled that the case did not meet the limited criteria for a lawsuit filed directly to the state’s high court but saidThe lawsuit filed in February argued absentee voting is unconstitutional and asked the justices to get rid of it or at least eliminate the no-excuse absentee balloting system Arizona adopted in 1991 and has steadily expanded ever since.
It was not immediately clear if the GOP would file the case in Superior Court. Spokespeople for the Arizona Republican Party and Alex Kolodin, the conservative lawyer whose firm filed the lawsuit, did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The GOP did not challenge absentee voting for members of the military, which the state is required to allow by federal law.
