In Arizona, the Pascua Yaqui Tribe filed a lawsuit Monday to reinstate the only early in-person voting site on the reservation, which was shut down in 2018. The tribe is also seeking a ballot drop-off site for the week preceding Election Day. The lawsuit says the Pima County Recorder’s Office has also closed an additional three early voting locations within the Tohono O’odham Nation since 2018. This is Herminia Frias of the Pascua Yaqui Tribal Council.

Herminia Frias: “So, are you, at the end of the day, telling us that here on the Pascua Yaqui Reservation our votes don’t matter? Because you’re telling us that on the reservation, 'Just go out there in Pima County and go vote at a library, that is eight miles away, and deal with it,' and not really understanding tribal sovereignty and not really understanding the law.”
