judge panel: It is an especially effective tactic in minority communities, and Democrats and some voters allege the law hurts minorities' ability to vote, according to CTV. The 11-judge panel said by blocking the law it was preserving the status quo for Tuesday election, which could come down to the wire in Arizona as Democrats spend heavily to get out the vote from Latinos and others angered by Donald Trump anti-immigrant comments. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday blocked the new state law that makes it a felony for groups to go door to door to collect early ballots and deliver them to the polls. The law is one of two that Democrats have challenged. But the judges agreed to review it in January for future elections. The appeals court used the same reasoning to keep in place a ruling that ballots should not be counted if voters go to the wrong polling place to cast them.
