Purcell v. Gonzalez (2006) Per Curiam Opinion (Purcell Principle, Imminent Elections, Changes in Election Laws)
In 2002, when Arizona passed a law requiring a photo ID in order to register to vote, The Election Assistance Commission notified them that the new law violated the National Voter Registration Act and Arizona residents and organizations petitioned for a restraining order to prevent the new law from taking effect, which the district court denied. But, when the plaintiffs appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for an emergency injunction, it was granted.
The question before the Supreme Court in this case was whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit erred in granting that injunction.
In a per curiam decision, the Court said it did because, given the imminence of the election and the inadequate time to resolve the factual disputes, they would allow the election to proceed without an injunction suspending the new law. So, the case was remanded and the Purcell Principle was born, holding that states shouldn't change election laws when an election is imminent.
