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.
