At least two Pima County supervisors will “press forward” to get an early voting site reinstated on the Pascua-Yaqui reservation, setting up a showdown with the county recorder who rejected the request again this week.
Tribal officials unveiled a new argument in their two-year fight to reopen an early voting station at the tribe’s community radio station that was closed in 2018 because of low turnout. They told county supervisors this week that COVID-19 has raised concerns about voting accessibility for tribal members, many of whom are elderly and don’t have access to vehicles.
Tribal Chairman Peter Yucupicio told the board Tuesday that it can take tribal members up to two hours to cover the seven miles to the nearest early voting location, Mission Public Library, with many tribal members having to travel by bus.
