Arizona Gov. Ducey signs legislation Tuesday to remove infrequent mail voters from the state's ballot list despite protests from Democrats and advocates who say the bill is discriminatory and will make voting harder.

The debate on Tuesday was emotional and tense at times, with lawmakers using Senate rules to try and stop Democrats from alleging racism and bias in the bill's supporters by raising repeated points of order.

Vince Leach, a Republican."This bill removes nonvoters, they have elected not to participate. Or they've moved, or they're dead."
