The Supreme Court has blocked a lower court ruling that would have made it easier for a group promoting redistricting reform in Oregon to collect signatures in the midst of the pandemic
The court's move is the latest example of the justices ruling against plaintiffs who have asked the court to relax ballot rules because of the coronavirus. The Supreme Court turned down a similar request from a group out of Idaho in late July.Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg dissented from the order.
The group claimed that because of the pandemic, it was unable to collect the necessary in-person signatures and could only pursue online and mail-based, signature-gathering methods. A lower court judge ordered Oregon's secretary of state in July to either accept the signatures the coalition had already submitted that would have required the redistricting reform initiative to be placed on the November ballot, or give the group until mid-August to collect the necessary signatures.
