TUCSON, AZ— Pima County Attorney Laura Conover has released the following statement in keeping her promise to update the community regarding mail-in voting litigation.

“On September 9^th, we joined an amicus brief in United States Postal Service, et al., v. California, et al. (No. 26A305), filed in the United States Supreme Court by a bipartisan group of 81 current and former state and local election officials and 19 local jurisdictions charged with the responsibility of administering elections. 

The bottom line: the effort to enforce new rules on mail-in ballots is paused. We are currently winning the fight, but the battle isn’t over.

I want to remind you that at this point the situation is fluid, and as of now *nothing* has changed; mail-in-voting will move forward as planned in Pima County. Please plan to vote as you normally would. 

We won’t stop pushing our efforts to maintain what America has always had: free, fair, and safe elections.”
