AZ Mirror: More than 75% of voters use early ballots. Every AZ House Republican voted to take that away. [[link removed]]
This headline says it all, John.
Arizona made "no-excuse" early and mail-in voting legal back in 1991. For decades, Arizona's mail-in voting laws were the model of ballot accessibility, making it easy for voters to participate in their elections. An overwhelming majority of Arizona voters voted early, either in person at a polling place or via mail-in ballot.
But opponents of voting rights in the Arizona House of Representatives just voted to change all that. They voted along straight party lines to pass a bill that would end early voting in the state -- both in person and by mail with just a handful of exceptions for the elderly or those in military service. This sends the bill onto the Arizona Senate, possibly setting up a showdown with Gov. Katie Hobbs over a potential veto.
This is bad news for Arizona voters and bad news for everyone that cares about our democracy. Help us stop suppressive bills like this in Arizona and across the country with $25 or whatever you can today >> [[link removed]]

Straight from the news report:
" The bill, like many others proposed by Republicans in the state legislature this year, is aimed at addressing conspiracy theories that the 2020 Arizona election was somehow stolen from then-President Donald Trump and that victories in the 2022 election were similarly swiped from several Republicans running for statewide offices. "
Vote-by-mail remains incredibly popular in Arizona , with almost 90% of ballots in 2020 cast by mail and around 75% of Arizona voters signed up to receive early ballots in 2022. But that would all drastically change.

Integrity First Voter Action Project is dedicated to expanding ballot access and increasing voter participation across the country.
Since the Supreme Court gutted key provisions in the Voting Rights Act, extreme politicians have taken advantage to pass harsh laws that restrict access to the ballot box. These restrictions particularly affect disadvantaged communities and people of color. It’s our goal to bring awareness to these laws wherever they may crop up and organize voters to take action to ensure the right to vote is available to everyone in their states and communities.
