Michael A. Chihak opinion: On Nov. 3, deny election deniers

Michael A. Chihak opinion: On Nov. 3, deny election deniers

  • Michael A. Chihak
    Special to the Arizona Daily Star

Republicans have put forth and embraced claims of election fraud, and they have embedded falsehoods into this fall’s election campaign.

  • Heather Mace
    Special to the Arizona Daily Star

To paraphrase Nikole Hannah-Jones: I may always wonder whether we made the right decision, I know we made the just one.

New policies from Washington, D.C., would dramatically reduce the size of wildlands and threaten wildlife’s ability to survive.

    The only way we can begin reclaiming the America we love is to beat Trump at the polls.

      Letter: Deportation to Third Countries

      • Albrecht Classen, Midtown

      How much more cruel and barbaric can the Trump government be when they send poor, desperate refugees, asylum seekers, or simply illegals to a third country? The legality of this practice now depends on a decision by the Supreme Court, but by all categories of a democratic country subscribed …

      Letter: Ciscomani Lies about His Opponent

      • KENNETH MINKOFF, Vail

      I am writing to express my disgust at Juan Ciscomani for trying to convince voters to support him by blatantly lying about his opponent. Big yellow signs have popped up attacking Mendoza. If you get close enough to read the fine print, you will see they are funded by his campaign. And they lie.

      Letter: Removal of the Roadless Rule and the Arizona Trail

      • roy vanduivenbode, Foothills

      I’m pleased to learn that many of our national forests will soon be open to off-road vehicles. We recently hiked sections of the Arizona National Trail in Southern Arizona, and the John Muir Trail in California. As I get older, it's getting harder to carry my gear, food, and water. I look fo…

      Letter: Prison company with sexual abuse history bad deal for Marana

      • Caroline Isaacs, East side

      Evidence has come to light that the prison in Marana run by profiteer MTC had numerous sexual assaults that it apparently tried to hide from federal regulators.

      Letter: Prop 421: One Voice, Bought in Bulk

      Letter: Prop 421: One Voice, Bought in Bulk

      • Howard Weiss, Midtown

      Open the Official Voter Information Booklet and Prop 421 looks popular: 69 arguments in favor. Look closer. Fifty-seven were paid for by TEP for Tucson, a PAC funded solely by TEP. Twenty-five were submitted by TEP employees. Nearly all repeat the same talking points; "reliable" appears at l…

                  Letter: Why 'Yes' on Prop 425?

                    Ask yourself if you value Pima College, good roads, safety, health, public audits. That's what 425 is about. Go for it.

                    A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.
