US Supreme Court: Arizona may enforce ballot collection law

The US Supreme Court on Saturday ordered an Arizona state law that restricts the collection of ballots by third parties back in place for Tuesday's election, a victory for Republicans in an intensifying state-by-state legal battle over access to voting.
The Supreme Court granted a stay of a US appeals court ruling that on Friday had temporarily blocked Arizona from enforcing the law that prohibits advocacy groups from collecting completed early ballots from voters and delivering them to election offices as part of get-out-the-vote efforts.
The stay will remain in effect pending a final disposition of the appeal by the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court order said. The appeals court has scheduled oral arguments in the case for January.
