For Star subscribers: A legislative proposal would take away the option that's popular with Arizona voters of both major political parties.
But a measure awaiting Senate debate would strip people who get early ballots in the mail of the option to hang on to them until the last minute and then simply drop them off at a polling place on Election Day.
He and other foes of early voting are unconvinced by requirements that county election officials compare the signature on the ballot envelope with the voters' signatures already on file.Popular option with votersOnly thing is, efforts to outlaw early voting entirely have not gained traction at the Legislature, at least in part because nearly 90% of Arizonans like to have that option. Lawsuits by the Arizona Republican Party to have the process declared illegal have faltered.
"Early ballots come with a return envelope,'' he said."It's clear that the purpose of the early ballot is to give people the convenience of not having to go into a polling place. When you take the early ballot option and instead show up on Election Day, you're simply slowing down the election and causing more work at the polling place, which further slows down the actions of other people who are there.
'Why would I have your ballot?'What was not discussed, however, is there are those who, despite getting an early ballot by mail, purposely wait until the last minute — and not just to see whether there is any late-breaking news about a candidate.
