Díaz: Why the Arizona Republic ran a front-page editorial reassuring voters about election safety

On Oct. 12, early voting officially began in Arizona ahead of November’s consequential elections.

And on that morning, the editorial board of the Arizona Republic made the rare move to print a front page editorial. Its title was powerful: “ Democracy is under attack.”

The Show regularly checks in with the Republic’s editorial board to talk about current issues facing the state and the region — featured in columns on the newspaper’s op-ed pages.

To discuss the piece, The Show spoke with the Republic’s editorial page editor Elvia Díaz.
