Arizona GOP passes 'impossible' voting bill requiring 4,000 new polling locations

Republican lawmakers passed legislation that would cost Arizona counties tens of millions of dollars every election year and would force them to attempt to find 4,000 new voting locations, something that county election officials described as impossible.

House Bill 2017 passed through the Senate by a 17-12 party line vote on Tuesday.

Sponsored by Rep. Rachel Keshel, a Tucson Republican and member of the far-right Arizona Freedom Caucus, the proposal would ban in-person early voting and the use of vote centers where any registered voter within a county can cast a ballot.

Instead, it would require the use of precincts capped at 1,000 registered voters apiece.

I don't think I'll see another one, at least not federal, but then again maybe no one else will either. Wonder who Democrats will blame then? Silly me.
