OPINION — My wife and I were having a conversation about the upcoming election and she stated that she was afraid of mailing her ballot because of the administration’s bluster regarding the U.S. Postal Service and mail-in ballot handling. She was afraid that her vote would be lost or worse, so she wanted me to hand carry the ballot to a polling place.
Well, their campaign worked. They have sown that seed of doubt into at least one voter. Her thoughts are the result of the incessant far-right voices challenging the veracity of our elections.
Regardless of the millions of dollars and countless man-hours spent validating our 2020 election here in Maricopa County, there is a group in our Legislature that keeps beating that drum and pushing legislation to the voters in their attempt to curtail our constitutional rights, which have caused regular voters like my wife to question our voting system.
