5. Since the Governor of Arizona has requested no such thing

My wish would be for her to assemble a team of AZ State police and, if possible, AZ National Guard around the state to act as swift response teams to unconstitutional, unrequested and unmandated armed unidentified individuals claiming to be there for voter protection, but displaying an intent to do the opposite, and dispersed--at gunpoint if need be--before they can interfere with voters exercising their right to vote. Since she said she gets along very well with both AZ Senators (Kelly and Gallego), I doubt I am the first one to suggest this. Their only question would be how many uniformed AZ "troops" would be available and how far they would be willing to go to protect the Constitution before they protect the Republicans.
