We need all the protection we can get in the way of preventing non-citizen influence in any of our elections, even if the problem is not acute or immediate for the scope of this proposition. Things are going in the wrong direction in this regard.
One point of concern is the personal information which has already begun to appear on the exterior envelope of mail-in ballots. The speculation on the possibilities of information which may be added (SSN? driver’s license or voting card #?) to the exterior envelope is a strong point in support of a NO vote.
Listen to what these gentlemen have to say, and armed with your mental notes, read the contents of this proposition before casting your vote.
If there's a problem, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."
"Don't allow perfection to be the enemy of progress."
"What do you have to lose?"
EVERYTHING!
"Change", isn't a policy. It's the desperate willingness to jump out of the pan, into the fire.
Let the GOP legislature submit a bill and proposal instead of asking for carte-blanche.
The 8 votes in AZ over the past decade that were identified is an incredibly good error rate. It is so low that it is clear there is no issue.
