A bill aimed at changing the mail-in voting process in Arizona, including stopping some voters from automatically receiving ballots, has stalled following an intense back-and-forth between the bill's sponsor and another GOP lawmaker on Thursday.The legislation in question, SB 1485, would revise the state's permanent early voting list, which allows a voter to automatically receive a ballot by mail for every election.
The so-called audit ordered by the Republican-controlled Senate is expected to begin on Friday despite the election results already undergoing multiple reviews that found no evidence of widespread fraud and ultimately being certified by state election officials. The audit has become highly controversial, with complaints from both the county and the secretary of state's office.
