So what would happen if you gave every voter 4 bottles of water BEFORE they get in the GQP voter desiccation zone line?

Just how in the f*ck is this purge of “inactive” voters not a screaming civil rights violation and taken jumped on by the DOJ? Now, I’ll usually vote for whether it is Gus, or Ralph, or Miriam for chief street sweeper, but I’m sure somewhere along the line I’ve missed voting a ballot. Does that make me inactive? Not hardly.

The state’s popular “Permanent Early Voting List,” in other words, has been changed to an “Active Early Voting List.”
So, if i don’t “actively” exercise my right to buy guns, i then lose that right forever?

Drop those GOP Senators off in the middle of Death Valley with no water and no cellphone.
Tell them you’re doing it so they aren’t tempted to sell their votes for water which is unavailable.

Republicans would pass legislation that disallows you to leave the line to go pee unless you return to the tail end of the line. They would also remove all porta-potties from anywhere near the line.

“This change will ensure that active voters continue to receive a ballot and free up resources for county recorders to use on priorities like election security and voter education,” Ducey said before signing the bill.
Constantly maintaining the voter list is not saving time for election security.
Though I do wonder what their BOE outreach is like.

HMMM… Now why isn’t PA getting in trouble for their nonsense. I would take the AZ law over what PA has done. Now I have to sign up every year, even if I voted by mail in the last election. Obviously the PA Republicans should be able to teach those in AZ a thing or two on how to make it more difficult to vote by mail.

Probably worse than that. Legislation like this puts booting people on the table. Although there are plausible reasons behind it the people in AZ can expect to be booted even if they vote in every election. Democrats for sure. Mistakes do happen…“don’t cha know”.
We have similar legislation here in Florida and although I vote in every election I’ve been booted twice…“sorry about that…mist be a glitch”. Check you registration NOW…

I’m actually surprised the AZ chambers didn’t write a bill killing our ability to vote at all.
So how many ‘elections’ do they have in AZ? I know up here we have LOTS of them so it’s not enough to just vote every 4 years. I taught my kids to vote every single election even if it’s just one thing so they stay on the lists. And I’m not in a batsht CRAZY state.

If as few as 11,000 voters in Arizona (11 electors), 12,000 in Georgia (16), and 22,000 in Wisconsin (10) had not voted for Biden, or partisan officials did not certify the actual counts – Trump would have won despite Biden’s nationwide lead of more than 7 million.
The Electoral College would have tied 269-269.
Congress, with only 1 vote per state, would have decided the election, regardless of the popular vote in any state or throughout the country.
It’s because of current state-by-state statewide winner-take-all laws for Electoral College votes, not mentioned, much less endorsed, in the Constitution.
Now we need to support and urge state legislators in states with the 75 more electoral votes needed, to enact the National Popular Vote bill to guarantee the presidency to the candidate who wins the most popular votes in the country.
All votes would be valued equally in presidential elections, no matter where voters live.

In reasonably liberal states, you can go on line and see whether your vote was tabulated, or you may be informed about a signature mismatch and be allowed to correct it. Measures to do these things could be addressed in federal voting rights legislation. While I think that is desirable, we need first to address the blatantly targeted measures that Republicans are passing in the states now. We need to have a debate about why allowing all voters to vote is a requirement for democracy. We need to demolish the points submitted by Roy Blunt in support of voter suppression measures.

I would find it difficult not to be embarrassed if I were an Arizona resident.

I was trying to assess how wide a net the AZ legislature has cast. As with most such efforts, the bill is designed to appear “fair” at first glance- surely we shouldn’t keep sending ballots to people who aren’t returning them. But there are lots of ways an apparently fair bill can have a disparate impact- especially if disfranchising people was your goal all along
