It's time for this to stop.
Voting is already easy. Although it’s funny to me when Democrats whine and cry about how voting is apparently “so difficult” and needs to be made even easier.

+1 Arizonans have been voting by mail for 30 years and it has never been a issue until now. Once again the Republicans are looking for a solution to a manufactured problem.

Yes, sort of. Republicans "invented" vote by mail in Arizona and backed it as long the analyses showed it favored their candidates.

The Republicans are looking for a solution to the problem of shrinking support for their agenda. The pattern in Arizona is the same as it is everywhere. Whenever they detect a surge in voters for their opposition, they move quickly to make it more difficult for that demographic to vote. We have seen it with mail in, early voting, souls to the polls, and convenient polling places and precinct-less voting. Their aim is clearly to win by cheating - making it hard to impossible in some cases for persons who might oppose them to even cast a vote.

So I think everyone would appreciate a return to some semblance of normal, to pre-COVID procedures.
Tell me precisely what Democrats have done to subvert the voting process. There are tons of examples of Republican bills designed to make it difficult for people to vote. Give me an example of a bill passed by a Democrat which makes it difficult for people to vote.

You're attempt to turn this around and somehow make it an issue by Democrats is not working. People all over see exactly what Republicans are trying to accomplish here.

Should burning fossil fuel be a requirement for voting? I`m asking Republicans.

Name one example of Republicans making it harder for people to vote. Try not to be racist like most dems are by implying blacks are too worthless to vote on time or get a voter idea.

I've been voting the same and I don't live in AZ but there's never been an issue until now. Seems like if you don't like the outcome of an election, question the method. Pretty stupid way of thinking when there's been no evidence shown otherwise. And I mean confirmed evidence. It's pretty easy to manufacture evidence and post it in videos online. Everything can be manufactured these days to fit the narrative.

I hope they don't halt mail-in voting. It's been very convenient.

In Texas they're trying to take away the ability of college students to vote on campus. They want to make it illegal to vote on college campuses. Here's some more for ya:

None of what you are so clearly terrified of has happened nor is happening. Get a grip on reality.

Sorry, had to LOL at your use of “terrified.” I’m not terrified of anything.

Just saying that lots of states made last-minute changes to election law in 2020 (and cited COVID for the reason), some of which turned out be legally questionable. Because Joe Biden won, nobody cares to know if these last-minute changes actually influenced the election in some way.

I live in Colorado which has had mail-in ballots for awhile, but before that was implemented, they took steps to clean up the voter rolls and ensure safeguards were in place. When they implemented this, they didn’t just sloppily blast everyone with ballots, make a mess, and then claim that it was the safest, most secure election ever.

But I get it, we’re not allowed to ask questions about any of this or even say that maybe people would have more faith in the system if we weren’t making it so sloppy by actively removing any and all safeguards against fraud.
