AZ: Awaiting Governor's decision, Tucson's mail-in elections hang in the balance

AZ: Awaiting Governor's decision, Tucson's mail-in elections hang in the balance..SB 1331 could prohibit Tucson from having mail ballot elections...In August, voters will still have the option of going to the polls in Tucson, but the number of polling places will be drastically cut back..If the Governor does sign the bill by the Monday, May 2 deadline, The matter could still all be settled through litigation in the Arizona Supreme Court..State Representative Ted Vogt said. Vogt added an amendment to 1331 only allowing mail-in elections for cities, towns and school districts with non-partisan elections. On a Tucson ballot, candidates are identified by political party."What my amendment does is preserves the status quo. And what is that, Tucsonans can vote by early ballot mail-in, or go to the polls,"
