Great Job @GeneralBrnovich - Ballot harvesting in AZ is illegal b/c the legislature passed my bill to ban the practice in 2016 in order to protect our elections from fraud and manipulation. Message to other states: If you care about election integrity ban Ballot Harvesting now!

Democrats know they are going to have a hard time selling their 2022 campaign platform of “closed economies and open borders” so they are resorting to weakening our election system instead.

Why did you bother drafting your own weak letter when you could’ve just reused @GPLInc ’s uninformed missive? Instead of talking about what my bill (1485) actually does it’s easier to just evoke SB1070 and imply I’m racist. It is intellectually lazy & dishonest. Grow-up!

Today, I sent a letter to Governor @dougducey and our state leaders expressing my strong opposition to SB 1713, SB 1485, and SB1106. While these bills vary in substance, they all would have the same result of disenfranchising voters from our elections.
