Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Tucson) supports providing individuals with more voting options as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to rise in Arizona.
“It is critical that vote-by-mail and early voting be included and expanded in Arizona’s upcoming elections, alongside stringent guidelines to improve the safety, accessibility and efficiency of in-person voting, so all Arizonans can safely participate,” Grijalva told Arizona Mirror. “Voters should not have to choose between their health and their right to vote.”
Arizona Mirror reported that opponents of mail-in voting contend it leads to voter fraud and favors the Democratic Party.
“Despite rampant misinformation, voting by mail is one of the easiest, convenient, and most secure ways for everyone to exercise their constitutional right,” Grijalva told Arizona Mirror. ”Even in the absence of a pandemic, I remain a strong supporter of expanding voting options because every citizen has the right to have their voice heard on Election Day.”
