Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) signed a bill that could purge tens of thousands of people from lists to receive mail-in ballots in the latest Republican attack against voting rights nationwide. After Arizona lawmakers passed S.B. 1485 on Tuesday, the Republican governor signed it into law shortly afterward. The bill would remove voters from the state’s Permanent Early Voting List who did not vote by mail in the last two election cycles or the last four years, meaning those voters would no longer automatically be sent a mail-in ballot. The governor claimed the bill was about “election integrity.” In fact, it could remove over 125,000 voters from the state’s list to receive mail-in ballots, including some 30,000 Latinx voters, according to the voting rights group Fair Fight Action.More Related News
