I would appreciate your friend’s take on this: are the mail in ballots legitimately tracked to a citizen voter who is alive and over 18 and not a felon voter who lives at a real address who only votes once?
Ask your friend how long the voter line wait is? Does it really take 20+ minutes to vote (reading the issues)?

They are MAILED to a specific voter who is either on the Permanent Early Voting List or who (as in my case) requested a ballot to be mailed to me at my address. Those who registered after 1996 have provided proof of citizenship OR are voting in a Federal-only ballot that only requires the voter to claim citizenship. The latter is due to federal law.
I don’t know how felons are handled. My son mentioned a guy he knew who was told he couldn’t vote because of his record (2 felonies involving sentences just over a year each). And he was denied in Pima County, which is the Democrat stronghold of Arizona.
The only person I know who voted on Election Day said the line was short where he voted (a conservative area of Pima County).
This year’s ballot had a ton of referendum issues. The ballot was 2 pages, both sides, small print. It would be impossible to vote on them intelligently if one waited until at the voting booth to read them. I spent 90 minutes researching them before I voted. My wife carried a cheat sheet from the Arizona GOP into the booth with her. Arizona needs to put stricter limits on ballot issues. It was on the ballot this year (prop 134). It is currently losing by 15 points.
