Stop Attacking our Right to Vote
We demand that you stop attacking the right to vote in Arizona now. You must drop the bills that criminalize volunteers and throw voters off the vote-by-mail list.
Why is this important?
Every year since the passage of SB1070, I have volunteered to register, educate and mobilize voters in Arizona so that we can make a real, lasting change. We've turned out hundreds of thousands of voters and last year we reached record numbers of new voters!
This massive voter participation exposed the inadequate election administration system in my state. Thousands were turned away from the polls or never got their vote-by-mail ballots. Rachel Maddow exposed the hundreds of thousands of votes not even counted until after Thanksgiving!
So what do our politicians do? They are trying to fix the problem by making it harder to vote, rather than overhauling the broken system. First, they are voting on a bill this week that kicks you off the vote-by-mail list if you miss just one electoral cycle.
But that’s not all! They’ve got another measure that would make it a felony for volunteers to help these voters by turning-in their vote-by-mail ballots at polling places once it’s too late to mail them in. They are actually trying to criminalize helping people participate in our democracy!
Please join me to stand up for the right to vote in Arizona by signing this petition now!
