Native American tribes in Arizona say two new state election laws won't make it any easier for their voters. Gov. Doug Ducey recently signed the bills that he and fellow Republicans say will strengthen the integrity of elections. The bills' sponsor, Republican state Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita, said claims of retaliation or voter suppression were "outrageous" and "unfounded." Elections aren't a surprise, she said, and voters want them to be run efficiently with timely results. (AP Photo/Bob Christie, File)
