| Arizona Republicans Accuse Democrats Of Special Election Voter Fraud Risk |
| 2018-04-25 |
| [NEWSWEEK] The Republican Party in Arizona has claimed that Democrats could disrupt Tuesday’s special election by allowing people who aren’t registered to vote to cast ballots. In Tuesday’s eighth congressional district special election, Debbie Lesko, a Republican state senator, will go up against Hiral Tipirneni, a Democrat and an emergency room physician. Political analysts and people nationwide are closely watching the race, especially as a recent poll put the two candidates within a percentage point of each other. Arizona Republican Party Chairman Jonathan Lines wrote in an email to constituents on Monday night, "We have received alarming reports that the Democrat official who runs elections in Maricopa County has systematically failed to enforce the voter ID law in recent elections. As a result, your help is vital in making sure the upcoming election is free and fair." The email told people to "keep your eyes peeled" and call the party "if you observe poll workers failing to check voters’ IDs." |

| #2 I did consider the possibility that Democrats didn't try cheating, really I did! That was a prudent thing to do Grom given the history. However, not to worry. Lesko wins seat. |
