Should early voters be allowed to give their ballots to someone else to be delivered to the elections office?
Coconino County Recorder Patty Hansen doesn’t think so, noting there’s nothing to prevent someone from chucking the ballots into a trash receptacle.
“That’s really dangerous,” Hansen said during a discussion last week by the county Board of Supervisors on proposed election law changes before the Legislature.
But Supervisor Mandy Metzer, who represents parts of the Navajo Nation where roads are poor and public transportation scarce, had a different take.
“It casts a shadow on the efficiency of the permanent early voter system,” she said.
