Arizona Republicans Push for Voting Restrictions Despite High Early Ballot Usage

Arizona House Republicans have passed a bill that would eliminate the popular no-excuse early mail-in voting method, restricting it to voters with disabilities, elderly, overseas or military voters, or specific circumstances. The bill also reduces the time to fix signature issues and bans voting centers, prompting concerns about voter access. The legislation now moves to the Arizona Senate for consideration, with Gov. Katie Hobbs having previously vetoed similar bills targeting voting rights.
