Maria Birnbaum, a Phoenix resident and member of the St. Gregory parish, said the protections against abortion, crime, and issues at the border "are being wiped away."

"I believe in the sanctity of human life and have seen firsthand what abortion does to women," Birnbaum said. "It frightens me that the protections we have fought for in this country are being wiped away, and that taxpayer money will be used to pay for these horrific crimes."

"I live in Phoenix, and the crime here is insane," she continued. "My kids aren't allowed to fill their gas tanks at night because I am afraid of how dangerous our city has gotten. Our beautiful city is going to trash. The fact that children are being used at the border and that women are being used as pawns is sickening."

Former President Donald Trump (R) leads President Biden (D) by ten points among Arizona voters in the 2024 race for the White House, according to a recent poll of Arizona voters released by American Greatness.

Trump leads Biden 42 to 32 percent, with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (I) at 13%. In a two-way race, Trump is ahead of Biden 48-42 percent, with 11% undecided.

In June, Trump launched a “Swamp the Vote” campaign by asking voters to vote early, absentee, by mail, or in person on Election Day.

“Republicans must win and we must use every available appropriate tool to beat the Democrats,” Trump said in a video announcing the “Swamp the Vote” effort. “Whether you vote early, absentee, by mail or in person, we must swamp the radical Democrats with massive turnout.”

When it comes to early voting, more than half of Arizona's Democrat registered voters are on the state's Active Early Voter List (AEVL), compared with just 46 percent of Republicans, reported the Grand Canyon Times.

Of the state's 2.104 million registered Democrats, 1.059 million of them-- or 50.1 percent-- are on the AEVL list. Arizona has 2.316 million registered Republicans, and 1.068 million of them-- 46.1 percent-- have signed up for the list.

Arizona county election authorities mail ballots to voters on the AEVL 27 days prior to every election.
