PHOENIX - Arizona voters can be asked to decide on a series of changes in state election laws in a take-it-or-leave-it ballot measure, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge has concluded.
In a new ruling, Judge Adele Ponce acknowledged claims by Tempe City Councilman Randy Keating that a proposal put on the November ballot by Republican lawmakers has multiple provisions. These range from enshrining in the Arizona Constitution that only citizens can vote, something already in state law, to restrictions on spending by foreign nationals to influence elections, as well as setting up new procedures for tallying ballots at each polling place versus bringing them to a central location.
And it would require all voters to show identification when casting a ballot - even those who vote by mail.
