Yesterday Republican Governor Doug Ducey signed SB1485, the PEVL Purge bill, into law, continuing down the path of voter suppression and Trump-style authoritarianism.
After being defeated in November, Republicans immediately took action to disenfranchise voters and destroy ballot access for hundreds of thousands of Arizonans. This new GOP bill will purge more than 200,000 voters from what is now the Active Early Voting List, making it even more difficult for native communities, voters of color, and older voters to cast their ballots.
Arizona Republicans should be ashamed. The cornerstone of our democracy is the right to vote, and at every turn, they have promoted voter suppression and disenfranchisement under the guise of election integrity.
Despite this disgusting display by Republicans, we will not stand down! Now is the time to fight harder than ever! Join us in letting Governor Ducey know that we will not stand for voter suppression!
