==''Brnovich v. DNC''==
In 2016, Arizona passed a bill to restrict [[ballot harvesting]] unless the person collecting the ballot is a family member, a person living in the same household, or a caregiver.  Brnovich intervened on behalf of the state after the [[Democrat]] [[Secretary of State]] [[Katie Hobbs]] refused to defend the law.  In the case of ''[[Brnovich v. DNC]]'', the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] rejected the [[Democratic National Committee]]'s arguments to water down election integrity laws and upheld the law.  Justice [[Samuel Alito]] wrote the decision defending the ability of states to put voting rules in place that eliminates [[voter fraud]].  Wanting to prevent voter fraud is, Alito made clear, a “strong and entirely legitimate state interest.”<ref>https://www.scotusblog.com/2021/07/court-upholds-arizona-voting-restrictions-limits-cases-under-voting-rights-act/</ref>
