Alarmed that Arizona’s 11 Electoral Votes might Not be Counted, in the process for Selecting the next President, Democrats and Republicans in this Political Battleground, did something rare: They found Consensus.
After months of Warnings and a Frantic series of Negotiations, the narrowly divided Legislature, Passed a Bill aimed at giving Election Officials more Time to Run the 2024 Primary and General Elections.
The last-minute Fix, eased anxieties for Election Officials who for months, had implored Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) and Lawmakers from both sides of the Aisle, to make changes to the Election Calendar, to allow them more time to do their Jobs while Meeting Mandated Deadlines, or risk National embarrassment and an Electoral Crisis.
Finally, the Pressure of a Friday Deadline, brought together an unlikely Alliance, in a State where Election Skepticism took root after Trump’s 2020 Loss, and still flourishes.
A Supermajority of Lawmakers from All Factions, from MAGA Republicans to Progressive Democrats, came together to Pass the Legislation.
The Legislation, HB2785, moves the Primary Election up a week to July 30th, also includes Smaller Changes.
Like, Produce Faster Final Results, and Give Voters fewer Business Days to Respond, if County Officials see a Problem with the Signature on their Mail-in-Ballot.
