Texas permits voters age 65 and over to vote absentee for any reason, but younger voters can’t vote absentee without good cause. On April 22, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Cascino v Nelson, 23-612, in which some voters had challenged the law on the grounds that the 26th Amendment prohibits treating some voters better than other voters because of their age. The lower courts had upheld the Texas law.

The Court had initially considered whether to hear this case in January, and had asked the state to respond, which shows that the Justices considered the case carefully.

On April 22, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear Lake v Fontes, 23-1021, the lawsuit filed by two Arizona Republican candidates for statewide office in the 2022 election. They had challenged the use of certain types of vote-coounting equipment.

Here is the story from The Washington Post. It may be behind a paywall.

The jist of the story is that the American Values 2024 Super PAC spent $2.4 million to gather signatures in Michigan, Arizona, South Carolina & Georgia, but that none of the signatures will be turned over to the Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. for President Campaign, so as to not appear to be coordinating actions with the Campaign, which would be illegal.

RFK, Jr. has since been nominated for President by the Natural Law Party in Michigan, so his Campaign does not have to petition there. But, the Campaign is planning to redo the Arizona, South Carolina and Georgia petitions. The signature requirements for those three petitions are 34,116 signatures as a new party or about 43,000 as an Independent candidate in Arizona, 10,000 in South Carolina, and 7,500 in Georgia.
