The Arizona Republican Party wants the state Supreme Court to strike down the vote-by-mail system used by 90 percent of voters in a battleground state. Absentee voting is unconstitutional, and the lawsuit asks the justices to get rid of it or at least eliminate the no-excuse balloting system Arizona adopted in 1991. In-person voting at the polls on a fixed date is the only way to vote in Arizona, according to lawyers for the GOP. The lawsuit comes at a time when the GOP is trying to remake the system for voting and counting votes as Donald Trump repeats a lie that he lost the 2020 election because of fraud in Arizona and other battleground states. In Pennsylvania, a court struck down the state's two-year-old mail voting law. The administration of Tom Wolf appealed to the Supreme Court. The Arizona Republican Party and its combative chairwoman, Kelli Ward, have been at the forefront of Trump's efforts to cast doubt on the 2020 election results. The latest suit was filed by the state GOP. Ward is not a named person. Some of the bills that aim to eliminate or severely restrict mail balloting are unlikely to succeed due to opposition from one or more Republicans. Lawmakers voted Monday to put a question on the ballot in 2022 that would require voters to write their birthday and partial Social Security number on mail ballots. Democrats said the GOP is attacking a popular voting method. I look forward to once again defending the voters of Arizona and defeating this ridiculous attempt to undermine our elections, said the Secretary of State, a Democrat. The chairwoman of the Arizona Democratic Party said that the lawsuit was based on lies and conspiracy theories. This is another attempt by the Arizona Republicans to make it harder for people to vote. The procedure for citizens to propose their own laws is outlined in the state constitution. The constitution says that initiatives are decided in a way that the voters can approve or disapprove. Attorneys from the firm argued that the constitution requires ballots to be cast at in-person polling places. They want the justices to throw out early voting procedures. The GOP wants the court to roll back the expansion of no-excuse Absentee Voting since 1991, eliminate ballot drop boxes, prohibit ballot counting before election day, and prohibit voting on initiatives and referenda if the justices are unwilling to go that far. Absentee voting for members of the military is allowed by federal law and the GOP did not challenge it. In the 2020 election, 90 percent of Arizona voters used a ballot that arrived in the mail, which can be returned through the U.S. Postal Service, an official drop box run by county election officials or a polling place. The signatures on the outside of the ballot envelope match those on file to confirm the vote is legitimate. There has not been a lot of fraud. There is a Bob Christie is an Associated Press writer.
