The language of the bill is simple. The specific amendment to Section 1, Title 16, Chapter 4, Article 1, of Arizona Revised Code is expressed in a single sentence:
Notwithstanding any other law, this state and a city, town, county, school district or other public body that conducts or administers elections may not receive or expend private monies for preparing for, administering or conducting an election, including registering voters.
The year “2020 was unprecedented, for the first time in history Americans saw a leftist billionaire spend nearly half a billion dollars to influence the management and administration of our nation’s general election,” state Rep. Jake Hoffman (R-Queen Creek), vice chairman of the Government and Elections Committee and primary sponsor of the bill, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview.
“Free and fair elections are a cornerstone of American exceptionalism and the American people, and the people of Arizona, resoundingly reject any attempts by the billionaire class to influence or control our elections process,” Hoffman added.
