re: Supreme Court to debate voting rights case that advocates worry will limit access to polls

Sainz, state director of the Latino advocacy group Mi Familia Vota, said neither the young man, who was in a wheelchair, nor his mother had a car or the time needed to mail their ballots before Arizona’s gubernatorial election in 2014. They asked Sainz to drop off their ballots on his way home – and he agreed.

"It made the difference between participation and their ballot sitting on a shelf and not being counted,” said Sainz, whose group collected thousands of votes in similar encounters before the state banned such handoffs. “It was a connector to democracy.”
