The Arizona Daily Star has this report on the division of opinion among that state’s top three elected officials over renewal of the preclearance requirement of the VRA. Democratic Governor Janet Napolitano and Republican Secretary of State Jan Brewer both support it, while Democratic Attorney General Terry Goddard “said he believes the law should be renewed only if amended to allow Arizona a reasonable way to get out from under federal scrutiny.” Goddard believes that preclearance “has put Arizona into a straightjacket.”
