I thought Arizona doesn forward ballots out of state. How can an out of state person be counted?
This question captures the essence of the kind of world envisioned by those who wrote Prop 105. You would no longer need a ballot to be counted as a No vote on initiatives. If your name is on the rolls and you don’t vote yes, you are an automatic No vote under Prop 105’s rules. The process to purge voters who have moved is slow and long. In this election cycle there are nearly 500,000 inactive voters on the rolls – most of them have moved, though it is hard to say whether they are in the state or out of the state. Prop 105 applies to people who have moved out of Arizona, those that have died but are still on the rolls, those that don’t vote by choice, and even people who have voted, but skipped some initiatives because they didn’t understand them. Prop 105 is an insidious and deceptive amendment to our constitution.
