WASHINGTON , D.C. — Trevor Potter, founder and president of Campaign Legal Center and Republican former Chairman of the Federal Election Commission, issued the following statement after Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed H.B. 2492 into law. Potter recently authored an op-ed for the Arizona Republic outlining the anti-voter provisions of the bill.

“The anti-voter policies in H.B. 2492, signed into law by Gov. Doug Ducey, create new barriers to Arizonans’ freedom to vote and violate longstanding federal law. Voters should be able cast their ballots freely, safely and equally to make the promise of democracy real for all Arizonans. This law takes Arizona in the wrong direction.”
