I read yesterday’s story, then read this (which I’m guessing is a copy-paste thing), and maybe I’m confused. Call it a lack of reading comprehension skills if you must. How I’m understanding this is that the voters did not follow directions by using the correct envelopes. Is this not correct? And, if I am correct, then shouldn’t these votes be invalidated because the voter didn’t follow directions? And, if not, why not?
@Bret Linden,
The Arizona elections manual require early ballots to be returned in “the envelope” with the appropriate signed affidavit. There’s nothing about which particular envelope “the” envelope is if there are two that were sent to the voter. If there’s a properly filled out ballot, cast by a registered voter and returned in an envelope with the required signed affidavit, you’d be pressed to find a reason to reject it — especially as the ballots were found long before the canvass.
@Dylan Smith
All right, fair’ nuff. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
