Three out of 47 Republicans had the conviction and perseverance to take a stand for you and protect the vote. We don’t agree with them on everything, but on HB2289 we want the same thing. For each legally registered voters voice to count.
What Can You Do?
Ask your Representative and Senator why they didn’t follow through on HB2289 to protect the vote in Arizona.
Remove yourself from the Active Early Voting system so that your ballot can not be filled in by someone else, stolen from a drop-box or mail or duplicated.
