The GOP-led Arizona House has passed legislation that would make changes to the mail-in voting process in the state, including stopping some voters from automatically receiving ballots.

The bill, a part of the ongoing Republican effort to restrict voting across the country, passed on a party-line vote and comes months after former President Donald Trump and his allies tried to overturn Arizona's 2020 election results. Since it was amended in the House, the bill now must go back to the state Senate for final approval. If the Senate, scheduled to reconvene Thursday, passes the amended version, it will then go to Gov. Doug Ducey.

Critics said this could especially impact voters who are independent or who are registered as unaffiliated and may not want to vote in party primaries. While independent and unaffiliated voters -- who make up roughly one third of the state's registered voters -- are not allowed to vote in presidential preference contests, they can request to participate in the primaries for other contests, per the Arizona secretary of state's website.

I would of thought it's a constitutional right to at least receive a ballot ?

Identification should be mandatory for anyone to vote! Otherwise... get rid of IDs altogether.

GOP - cheat to win
