Ninth Circuit: DNC v. Reagan

Voter filing assistance statute minimally burdens 1st & 14th Amendments; plaintiff did not demonstrate burden o discrete subgroups; no showing of prior fraud was needed, as the state might be preserving trust in the process; holding that disproportionate impact was de minimis was not clear error; legislature acted without intent to discriminate.

Discarding out-of-precinct ballots similarly upheld.

Dissent: Disparate impact, history of discrimaination, Section 2 of VRA problematic, etc.
