A federal appeals court on Friday upheld a 2011 Arizona law designed by Republicans to slow the tide of people not registering with their party.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals acknowledged the statute says voter registration forms can specifically list the names of only the two parties with the highest number of followers, and list them in the order of most adherents. That means the Republicans and Democrats.
And anyone who wants to register as a Libertarian or otherwise has to fill in that party’s name on a line that’s less than an inch long.
