A liberal legal group is challenging Arizona’s new election law, which bars voters from being registered in multiple locations and outlaws forwarding a mail-in ballot to someone who lives out of state.

The Elias Law Group says poor and minority voters will suffer from the law.

It filed a 30-page complaint in federal court this month challenging Arizona’s Senate Bill 1260, which requires a county recorder to cancel a voter registration if the voter re-registers in another county. The law also makes it a crime to aid a voter who is registered in a different state.
