Arizona

I'll also pass this information on to family members in this area.



Just for the heck of it, I contacted an AP reporter named Jude Joffe-Block, located in Phoenix, who has written about this question of identifying information on ballot envelopes, but haven't heard back yet. I generally don't expect responses from people I don't know, but this is such a pertinent question and I thought she might have insight. But I think the answer is probably the one you proposed above, and probably not nefarious. Thanks again for starting this conversation.
