The Supreme Court of the United States has recently ruled on several significant issues affecting Arizona's electoral landscape. One notable decision allows the public to vote on the 'Make Elections Fair Arizona Act,' which aims to ensure equitable election opportunities for candidates across all political parties. This act will appear on the November ballot, although questions about its implications remain. Additionally, the court has upheld a decision permitting the Arizona Restaurant Association to propose a ballot measure that would allow employers to pay tipped workers less than the current minimum wage, a move aimed at reducing costs for restaurant owners. Furthermore, the Supreme Court has approved a public vote on whether judges in Arizona should have life terms without regular public review, which could potentially override any decisions made by voters to remove judges Clint Bolick and Kathryn King from office in the upcoming general election. In a related development, a U.S. appeals court has struck down a rule from President Biden's administration aimed at increasing wages for tipped workers, citing a recent Supreme Court ruling that limits federal agencies' regulatory powers. This series of rulings reflects ongoing debates over voting rights, labor regulations, and judicial accountability in Arizona.
