Two women from southwestern Arizona who pleaded guilty to illegally collecting voted early ballots in the 2020 primary election are seeking a delay in their scheduled sentencing in Yuma on Thursday, Sept. 1, 2022, because one of their lawyers had a death in the family. Authorities say Fuentes and Alma Juarez participated in &quot;ballot harvesting,&quot; a practice once used by both political parties to boost turnout that was made illegal by a 2016 state law that barred anyone but a family member or caregiver from returning early ballots for another person.

Trump, in a statement announcing his decision, called Masters a “great modern-day thinker” and slammed Masters' chief rival, Brnovich, for doing too little to promote Trump’s lies about the 2020 White House election he lost.

A Yuma County woman who was indicted in 2020 for illegally collecting ballots apparently ran a sophisticated operation that relied in part on her status as a well-known Democratic operative in the border city of San Luis to persuade voters to let her collect their ballots and in some cases fill them out, records obtained by The Associated Press show. Guillermina Fuentes has pleaded not guilty but a change of plea hearing is set for Thursday, June 2, 2022. (Arizona Attorney General's Office via AP)
