[Arizona Senate Democrats @AZSenateDems]

Real talk: why are Republicans trying to change a law that already exists?

Everything they claim HCR2001 adds: citizenship verification, ID, ballot security, is already part of Arizona law. Meanwhile, over 80% of voters safely use mail-in ballots every election.

Instead of addressing real issues, this referral focuses on unfounded fears and opens the door to rolling back a system that voters trust and rely on. We don’t need to fix what isn’t broken.

Republicans once again out of touch with reality.
