Arizona to vote on introducing more voter ID requirements

Opponents fear the measure might result in increased ballot counting time and identity fraud

A measure on Arizona's ballot in November could require more stringent voter identification, both at the polls and via mail-in ballots - the primary way people in the state vote.

Opponents of Proposition 309 warn it could disenfranchise voters, making them susceptible to identity fraud and taking longer to count ballots. But the measure has the backing of Arizona GOP heavyweights and the state party itself, and it comes on the heels of nonstop, unfounded claims of 2020 election fraud by Republicans here.
