AZ now votes 80% by mail.

If you aggressively open up vote by mail do you really need the same number of polling stations?

By Nov 4th AZ will have 2 Dem Senators and a 5 Dem 4 Rep ( at least) advantage in the House delegation

that was ridiculous.

I have not heard of reduction in polling stations in Texas other than Tarrant had to close 2 of our total 175 because we could not get the workers.

The solution was to combine those two precincts with adjacent precincts; also we can vote on Election Day at any voting location in the county.

I wholeheartedly recommend that every county look into establishing Voting Centers and allow anyone to use them on Election Day. Voters love it and election workers do to. No more sending voters on a wild goose chase to find their correct polling location. This also pretty much eliminated provisional ballots.

My daughter tells me they are all over the place in Phoenix. No one touches them except Election workers. Just curious. I know they are in all the post offices, but my daughter drops hers at the public library.

Arizona is on the cusp of blue. The Congressional ratio is 5 Dems to 4 Repubs and I fully expect there to be 2 Democratic Senators after Nov 3
