Attorneys question legal argument in AZGOP challenge to early voting law

By Jeremy Duda | Arizona Mirror

The Arizona Republican Party is relying on “stray” language in the Arizona Constitution in what attorneys describe as a longshot challenge to overturn the state’s 31-year-old early voting law. 

A lawsuit filed earlier this week by the AZGOP and one of its officials argues that a provision in the constitution stipulating that “electors may express at the polls” means that voting must be done in person, not by mail, as Arizona’s no-excuse early voting law allows for. The party’s attorney, Alexander Kolodin, is asking that the Arizona Supreme Court accept the case directly and declare the early voting law illegal. That would require most of the more than 80% of Arizona voters who use early voting to cast their ballots in person for the August primary and November general elections.
