PHOENIX — It’s billed as a measure to speed up election results.
But Senate Republicans on Tuesday adopted a far-reaching measure that, if approved by voters, would allow them to require people who choose to vote by mail — the vast majority of Arizonans — to provide some sort of proof of identity if they want their ballots counted.
What that would be, however, is not spelled out in SCR 1001. And Sen. Shawnna Bolick, the Phoenix Republican sponsoring the proposal, refused to answer questions about it from Democratic lawmakers.
