Court does allow for case to be filed in lower court for hearing.

Howard Fischer PHOENIX — The Arizona Supreme Court won't quash the method of voting used by nearly 90% of state residents, at least not now.

Central to the fight is the contention by attorney Alexander Kolodin that the only form of voting specifically authorized by the framers of the state constitution is in person, and on Election Day. What that means, he said, is anything else — including the current system of no-excuse early ballots created by the legislature in 1991 — is illegal.

That still allowed people to get early ballots, but also had to provide some proof they needed it, like being away from their voting precinct on Election Day or a physical disability. And Kolodin said that, at least, would provide more security over early ballots than the current system. "It would undo the work of many Republican governors and secretaries of state over the past several decades,'' he told reporters last month. And Ducey said the lawsuit is"poorly crafted.''
