Arizona GOP sends ominous email seeking 'voter' info

The Arizona Republican Party sent out an email Wednesday — and a similar tweet last week — that is raising some eyebrows about both the method and the timing.

The blast email was titled, in screaming all-caps, "IMPORTANT INFO MISSING" and tells the reader that their "voter profile status has been marked incomplete." It then directs the reader to fill out a form "in the next 24 hours to remain active in our system."

The email is clearly marked with the state GOP logo and is signed by the Arizona Republican Party. It was sent to the party's general subscriber list. Communications Director Torunn Sinclair declined to say how many people received it.

it included no explanation of what a "voter profile status" is, who may have marked it incomplete or whether that has anything to do with a person's actual voter registration status (IMPORTANT: It doesn't).

Who and where that came from, should be able to lock down why it's been sent out and where it originated.

If I lived there I'd make it my mission to get the information, if it's legally non-binding and just a fishing expedition the authors need to be outed.

I live in Washington state, I just got my paper ballot for a primary for Prop 1 Fire and Rescue tax levy lid lift.

I frikken love voting by mail, zero confusion, a paper trail, no standing in line.

It should go back to this EVERYWHERE, no showing up at the booth and finding they won't allow you to vote, no rushing to get there before they close, no standing in line.

No repukes checking ID, etc, etc.....

If we can do it here every year with almost zero issues they can do it anywhere.

After our national nightmare is over we should go back to the old ways.

Just my .2 cents.
