Arizona Republicans introduce Florida-style election reforms to speed results
« on: December 13, 2024, 06:41:48 pm »
Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen is seeking election administration reforms similar to what exists in Florida in the upcoming legislative session in hopes of delivering faster results.

Senate Bill 1011 would end the drop off of mail-in ballots at 7 p.m. on the Friday prior to Election Day, which would be a major change from the drop-offs that are available until polls close on Election Day currently.

Mail-in ballots dropped off closer to Election Day, also known as “late earlies,” are often attributed to the length of time it takes to count ballots in the Grand Canyon State.

“Today me and my colleagues will be introducing legislation to get election results night of. AZ will no longer be the laughing stock of the nation and the last to announce electoral votes. The bill will incorporate the key differences between AZ and FL,” Petersen tweeted Wednesday.

In addition, the bill would require an early voting certificate to be signed by a voter as opposed to a mail affidavit envelope for those voting early in-person.

Let's hope it flys. 

We need to know everything on election night.

Which is why they waited until now to offer it.

Not surprising, but Hobb's days are numbered.  The big thing is getting someone ready (and it better not be Karil Lake) to run against her.

Good to hear.

From what I recall, Lake & Co. branded her as a McCain person.  Not sure if that is reality.

It is a reality, she loves McCain. But...she would be leagues better than any Dem.

Just reading an article on her and her wind-walking activity since her defeat in 2022.

I originally was more supportive, but have become less enamored. 

Now, the question is.....is there someone more conservative who isn't Kari Lake (and carrying a lot of baggage) who will run against her ?

She is quite obviously in the money circles and whoever it might be needs to be getting out in front....NOW.

What does he need to know ?

He has endorsed many who have been critics of his style and approach.

J.D. Vance being one of the more prominent. 

What he does know is that Lake won't win and I don't want to go through that s**t show again. 

This is going to hurt the ability of anyone else to get into the race, but I hope someone does.  We need to drive out the ISSUES this state faces and get honest about what it's going to take to deal with them. 

Sounds like she's  a hawk on immigration.....that is going to help her go a long way.

Better than the best the Rats can put up.  We should have an assortment of decent candidates by Primary, '26.

Whoever they are, I don't want to see the kind of "carnage" campaigns that Lake runs.

You put forth your points......and I'll decide.  If you hate on your opponent, I'll not be voting for you (based on that alone....I don't give a rat's rear what your policies are).

In Kansas, we had two strong conservatives (members of the house) running for the senate seat formerly held by Sam Brownback.  One was Jerry Moran.  The other was Todd Tiahart.  Both were strong.  But Moran was very popular in the western part of the state.  Tiahart took a scorched earth approach and ran a savage negative campaign.  Even my wife, who is very apolitical, was disgusted with Tiahart.  She didn't even know what he was running for.  She just thought his commercials were garbage.

I was totally pissed at Tiahart and let every "lethargic" republican I know that they should vote for Moran.  Not because of me...but....just because.  Moran beat Tiahart by 5%. 

I was pretty much determined that I didn't care if Tiahart walked on water.....I'd never vote for him for ANYTHING except maybe dog catcher.

This was discussed in our MCRC meeting.  It needs to stay way up in the priority list.

The only way this can pass is if you get sufficient votes in both house to override the guaranteed Veto.  I hope we can, but with all the Dems lockstep moves it's unlikely.

In two years, we are going to fire Hobbs, then it will be easy.  But we can't wait for that to put the plans out and get them refined.

How ironic that years ago FL was a laughing stock as far as voting because of the 'hanging chad' issue.  Not so anymore.  Much has changed.

The Chad Affair.  what a mess.   Great Society Dem Lawton Chiles was Gov from 91 till he croaked in 98.  Then Lt Gov Buddy McKay finished the inal year of Chiles's term   The Scrubs little Broh, Jeb was elected 1/5/99 and couldn't be bothered to upgrade the voting system.
