The U.S. Supreme Court holds a conference on Monday, September 29. The Court will consider whether to hear Williams-Yulee v Florida Bar Association, 13-1499, over whether candidates for judge can be told they may not solicit campaign contributions for themselves.

Also the Court will consider whether to hear Arizona State Legislature v Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, 13-1314. The issue is whether Article One of the U.S. Constitution, which requires state legislatures to write laws about congressional elections, is violated by independent congressional redistricting commissions. The lower court had upheld the Arizona redistricting commission’s authority by 2-1.

Finally, the Court will consider whether to countermand last week’s order of the Sixth Circuit that Ohio must permit early voting during the first week of October and on the Sunday and Monday before election day.

It is not clear when the Court will reveal what it has done at conference. It could be this afternoon, or Tuesday morning.
