As I predicted, the Supreme Court upheld Arizona's requirement that, for counties that use a "precinct based" model for voting, voters must cast their ballots in their correct precinct to be counted. It also upheld Arizona's ban on ballot collection/harvesting. #BrnovichvDNC The second sentence of the opinion: "Arizona law generally makes it very easy to vote."

The final two SCOTUS decisions, due in approximately 20 minutes, will be HUGE for elections and election law. I was going to write an explainer of what's at stake, but @rickhasen already wrote a tremendous one. I worked on the case now known as Brnovich v.
