Republican Alexander Kolodin sponsored Prop. 144, which would require ID even for mail ballots. Fontes says Arizonans like voting at the kitchen table.
A judge confirmed the voters’ citizenship documents during court-ordered mediation, and ballots are going out to those on the early voting list.
The voters were among 60 investigated as possible noncitizens; county prosecutors later found most were citizens.
Secretary of State Adrian Fontes says the Enhanced Voting platform will give voters one place to track unofficial results with maps and charts.
Secretary of State staff opened a suspicious envelope Thursday; DPS hazmat and the FBI responded. No injuries were reported.
