AZ: Question to end early voting could end up on the November ballot

PHOENIX — Arizonans have been early voting for more than 30 years, but maybe not for much longer.

Some Republican lawmakers want everyone who is physically capable to vote in person on the day of the elections.

"One day, one vote, in-person, paper ballots," Republican Rep. Rachel Jones said at a previous hearing.

House Concurrent Resolution (HCR) 2032 would put an end to early voting in the state, create precincts limited to 1,000 voters and reduce voting centers in Maricopa and Pima Counties.

"It streamlines voting. It makes it less chaotic and actually easier to do," Jones said at a previous hearing.

Prediction. Their plan passes and is implemented. Dems win in landslides. Cries of rigged elections echo throughout the state. GOP lawmakers propose elections promoting mail in and early voting. Because. That is so much easier then governing.

The Governor of Arizona is a Democrat and the rethugs don’t have a super-majority in the legislature, so she’ll most likely veto it.

What provisions for disabled citizens or those in the hospital at the time? If they’ve been early voting for 30 years, what is the problem?
