Unfortunately? As @Otherbrother mentioned, disenfranchising any voters, even GQP fuckwits, is wrong. Our democracy is in enough trouble without votes getting tossed because some jerks aren’t happy with the results. Even if it was not Hobbs’ literal duty to sue, it was the right thing. No one’s vote should get tossed. Yeah, this time disenfranchising will temporarily benefit some Democrats. But long term this is terrible for everyone, especially those of us trying to hold on to democracy

By the time the United States Constitution came into effect on March 9, 1789,[11] a small number of free Blacks were among the voting citizens (men of property) in some states.[12] The Constitution did not originally define who was eligible to vote, allowing each state to determine who was eligible. In the early history of the U.S., some states[which?] allowed only white male adult property owners to vote, while others[which?] either did not specify race, or specifically protected the rights of men of any race to vote.[13][14] Women were largely prohibited from voting, as were men without property.[15] Women could vote in New Jersey until 1807 (provided they could meet the property requirement) and in some local jurisdictions in other northern states. Free Blacks could also vote in these jurisdictions[which?], provided they could meet the property requirement. In New Jersey particularly, these property requirements were purposely set quite low.[16]
No offense to you, @anon52120741. Only pointing out the hypocrisy in our conduct goes waaay back.

Well, you are not wrong about how our voting laws and treatment of disadvantaged classes have always sucked. I was meaning more that even at the start of our great experiment you would go to prison if you violated those laws. It’s basically why we have them!

After my knee jerk reaction, I have to agree, however frustrating it is. It would have been nice if the self-disenfranchisement happened automatically and there was nothing the SoS could do. It’s also too bad that Hobbs doing her job to protect all citizens, even those of the other party, will be entirely lost on Cochise County Republicans who are indoctrinated into blind tribalism.

Kari Lake be “installed” as Arizona governor
It’s the job of the installing technician to assess the equipment for damage or defect. In this case, Kari Lake is being sent back to the factory for both.

Went to vote this after noon - was there for about 50 minutes. This was an off-year election year, and a run-off… and the place was packed!
