Arizona's Maricopa County faced criticism as it took days to count its votes in 2022. The county's Republican recorder has a proposal that he says aims to make the process more pleasant for all.
The cleanest solution, Richer says, is a 5 p.m. deadline on the Friday before Election Day to return early ballots. In his memo, Richer acknowledges that returning early ballots on, or close to, Election Day is an increasingly popular voting method in Arizona that could leave many"surprised, confused and angered by a prohibition of this practice."
"[Richer] sees more people voting and the way that they choose as being a problem as an election official, maybe as a person under pressure to produce results, and get results out quicker," Gulotta added."And I think that needs to be balanced against the needs of voters." Newly elected Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, is also no fan of the proposal; she spoke out against it while she served as secretary of state, and worries removing an increasingly popular voting method could lead to confusion and rejected ballots.
What's not productive, Richer said,"is just making this up or accusing people of breaking the law, or all these conjectures and conspiracy theories. I didn't want to spend another two years doing that."
