PHOENIX – Representative Stephanie Simacek released the following statement in response to Donald Trump’s threatened executive order to ban mail-in voting and voting machines.

“The Constitution grants states the authority to set and administer their own elections, which in itself provides our country its own unique form of election security. Donald Trump plans to undermine that election security for his own benefit with an illegal executive order attempting to ban mail-in voting and voting machines. Make no mistake, this would disenfranchise millions, including those with disabilities, those without transportation, those with difficult work schedules and veterans serving overseas. 

Arizona has had no-excuse early voting since 1991, and it is a model of consistency and convenience that is massively popular and trusted by voters from both parties. I stand with our Secretary of State, Attorney General, Governor and the vast majority of Arizona voters in rejecting this unconstitutional power grab and preserving Arizona’s election integrity.”
