What role will AI play in our elections?: Pima County elections officials explain wildcat.arizona.edu/?p=153506
𝗙𝘂𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁: Just because a Presidential candidate "suspends" their campaign doesn't mean that they won't appear on the Arizona ballot. They will, and their votes will in fact be counted.
In 49-9 bipartisan vote, Arizona House passes bill to require four-year officeholders like @GovernorHobbs do more campaign finance reporting between cycles. The @MatthewGress bill was a response to my story earlier this month, read it here. azcentral.com/story/news/pol… via @azcentral
2024 will be the first deepfake election. Arizona lawmakers and election officials are trying to combat the election disinformation that AI can be used to spread, but that's no easy task. axios.com/local/phoenix/…

11K Followers 2K Following Deputy Elections Director, Pinal County 🌵🗳️Thanks, Eric. In this case, that would be @jacksellers , with a finger of @ThomasGalvin. (4 precincts in LD13's panhandle)
I will add: by tradition the Supervisor who represents the geographic area in question is the sole decision-maker in selecting a replacement legislator. The other Supervisors defer and often play no role in the selection except by affirmation in the final vote.
@azelectionlaw Would you like me to recommend a good itch cream, Eric? 😆
@azelectionlaw Important legal victory! Judge rules in favor of AUDIT USA and John Brakey! This is a major win that protects the public’s right to request government records such as CVR. Link to AUDIT’s Press Release: bit.ly/3hJX7VZ and article: bit.ly/3Ww19jE

@ChristineBauser @azelectionlaw Interesting, I never asked for the voter registration database. Link to what I asked for: bit.ly/3PNR7aw
The address Justine Wadsack used with the AZSOS is apparently registered to an Alfonso Rosa (bought in 2002) who contributed to Wadsack's campaign in January. The address she used to run in 2020 is now in Dem-heavy LD20 and is still owned by a trust in her name.
NEW: an election contest has been filed in Pima County seeking to declare Justine Wadsack ineligible for office based on alleged lack of district residency. Edward Davis; Onita Davis v. Justine Wadsack
"So get this. She loses by 17 points, and then files a lawsuit to stop the election from being certified!"
NEW: County Supervisor candidate Gail Golec has filed suit against @MaricopaVote and @SecretaryHobbs seeking to prevent certification of the 2022 primary election.
Apparently the former AZ Elections Director doesn’t understand the difference between a policy in the EPM being “derived from” vs being required by, but ok.
Quoting Judge Rayes' conclusions of law dated 5/8/18: "Arizona's policy to not count provisional ballots cast in the wrong precinct . . . derives from the collective effect of A.R.S. 16-122, -135, [and] -584[.]" Sorry, but EPM may not contradict a court ruling or state statute.

If the significant victory here is that the legislature can “reduce education funding without consequence” then let’s just say I am...skeptical that they can do so “without consequence” or that the ability to do so is a “victory.”
Prop. 208 Injunction Denial Might Be Significant Victory For The Legislature azelectionlaw.com/index/?p=676
@azelectionlaw @LisaMarra It goes the other way as well... the legislature can increase base funding as well 🤷🏼♂️
My summary: “this old subpoena is moot, this new subpoena is too recently issued to be enforced, go play nicely in the sandbox and don’t make me pull this car over” 🤷🏼♀️
Here is my summary of what happened in today’s hearing re: the Senate’s legislative subpoena to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors: 🤷♂️ Hearing will reconvene on 1/20.
@azelectionlaw It's A.R.S. 16-549. Probably a simple typo.
@modernista64 @azelectionlaw Funny this typo was caught, but not the one in the Supreme Court order re VBM instructions.
Early voting begins today for the March 17 Presidential Preference Election. Ballots go out today to voters who are on the Permanent Early Voting List (PEVL) AND registered as members of the Democratic Party, so keep an eye on the mail. More info here: bit.ly/2OllcRq
