 The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld balloting restrictions in Arizona in a decision that could make it more difficult to challenge other voting limits put in place by Republican lawmakers following last year's elections.

The court rejected the concept that displaying that a state regulation disproportionately affects minority voters is sufficient t...
