Federal judges will give Democrats one more chance to make their case that a state ban on “ballot harvesting” is illegal.
In a brief order Wednesday, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said a majority of the sitting judges want to review last week’s ruling by a majority of a three-judge panel that concluded the state is legally allowed to make it a felony for anyone to take someone else’s ballot to the polling place.
HB 2023, approved earlier this year by the Republican-controlled Legislature, has exceptions only for family members, those in the same household and certain caregivers.
