Protestors Storm Capital

[HappySkeptic]

In case anyone was unclear as to what these people do and do not believe in...

Here is a link to a bill introduced by Arizona Ways and Means Committee Chair Shawnna Bolick (R-Taliban)
https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/55leg/1R/b...B2720P.pdf

Wherein she lays out a system for proper governance as the arizona gop sees it.  Spoiler alert, she's not too happy with the will of the people, and doesn't believe that it has a place in presidential elections.  It also allows any state elector to contest an election with no requirement of procedure or evidence while simultaneously preventing judges from dismissing such cases for any reason.

IDK, if you plan to run your state like a separatist fiefdom, have the courage of your convictions?  If you've got hate in your heart, let it out.

Yes, the legislature has the absolute right to override the election, with no appeal.  And, if someone contests the election, they can ask for a jury trial, the results of which cannot be overturned for any reason (except by the legislature).

So, if you lose an election, you have two ways of overturning it, regardless of the recorded will of the people or of evidence.  So much for democracy.

The other problem with the bill is that it outlines tiny procedures as law.  That means that if any tiny procedure isn't followed by even one person, there is grounds for that jury trial.
