Taft uphikise lesi sikweletu ngemuva kwezinsuku ezine. Ukuphikisana kuhlobene nokuthi umthethosisekelo wase-Arizona uvumelekile ukukhumbula abahluleli. Njengoba ayekholelwa ku-judiciary ozimele. Ngosuku olulandelayo, iCongress yadlula iSJ Res. 57, evuma izindawo zaseNew Mexico nase-Arizona njengoba kuthiwa zihlelwe ngokuvumelana nokuvunywa kwabavoti base-Arizona ukuchitshiyelwa komthethosisekelo okukhipha inkantolo ukukhumbula ukuhlinzekwa.
