A federal judge was accused by a group of 20 Republican state attorneys general of “overreach” for ruling that Arizona voters who forget to sign their absentee ballots should get up to five days after the election to fix the error.

The states late Thursday filed a joint brief supporting Arizona’s appeal of a Sept. 10 decision by U.S. District Judge Douglas Rayes in Phoenix, arguing the ruling encroaches on the right of states to run their own elections.
