Arizona bill would allow legislature to overturn election results

[Guno צְבִי]

An arch conservative member of Arizona's state House of Representatives has proposed a mammoth overhaul of the state's voting procedures that would allow legislators to overturn the results of a primary or general election after months of unfounded allegations and partisan audits.

The bill, introduced by Rep. John Fillmore (R), would substantially change the way Arizonans vote by eliminating most early and absentee voting and requiring people to vote in their home precincts, rather than at vote centers set up around the state.

Most dramatically, Fillmore's bill would require the legislature to hold a special session after an election to review election processes and results, and to "accept or reject the election results."

The second law of the modern day Republican Party is:

If you cannot win fairly...CHEAT.

The first law, of course, is:

I've got mine, fuck you.

So...what else is new?

Guess if you can't win honestly on your merits, cheating is the thing to do.

Why even bother with elections then? Why not just tell the citizens "Nope, not this year. We know what's best for you so we're going to install ___, ___, ___, and ___."

They should also require all ballots be in Russian, just to make it authentic.

No, it's not. It's a blatant requirement to keep university students from voting.

Of course that will backfire on them when they realize that ppl who have to travel within state as part of their business won't be able to vote. Bet a lot of those are (R) voters.
