We compute the (stable) étale cohomology of Homn(C, P(λ)), the moduli stack of degree n morphisms from a smooth projective curve C to the weighted projective stack P(λ), the latter being a stacky quotient defined by P(λ) := [\mathbbAN-\0\/\mathbbGm], where \mathbbGm acts by weights λ = (λ0, ⋯, λN) ∈ ℤN+. Our key ingredient is formulating and proving the étale cohomological descent over the category ΔS, the symmetric (semi)simplicial category. An immediate arithmetic consequence is the resolution of the geometric Batyrev--Manin type conjecture for weighted projective stacks over global function fields. Along the way, we also analyze the intersection theory on weighted projectivizations of vector bundles on smooth Deligne-Mumford stacks.
