The Arizona attorney general talks about the legal victory for Arizona’s open-ballot law.

What was the significance of a federal judge upholding Arizona’s requirement for secret-ballot elections?
If the judge had ruled for the Obama administration, it would have opened the way for union leaders to present workers with “check off” cards and intimidate them to sign up for a union that they did not want to represent them.
The decision upholds the sanctity of the secret ballot, protects workers from intimidation, and treats Arizona as an independent sovereign with the ability to enact laws that protect its own citizens.
