FINALLY! AZ Lawmakers Defy Leftist Governor…Order Electronic Voting Machines to be REMOVED from All 15 Counties Unless They Meet These Requirements…

Texas may be the home of the Alamo, but the battle lines were drawn in Arizona yesterday when both chambers of the Arizona legislature passed a resolution to ban the use of electronic tabulators in federal elections.

In a twist likely to be contested in court and with the potential to set legal precedent, Senate Concurrent Resolution 1037 (SCR 1037) bypassed the governor’s veto pen and was transmitted directly to the Secretary of State with instructions to go into immediate effect.

State Senator Wendy Rogers (R) in a radio interview said:

It is in effect. It has the full force of law.

It doesn’t require the governor’s signature. 

Listen here:

SCR 1037 informs all Arizona counties and the secretary of state that they are no longer allowed to use electronic tabulators, including Dominion and ES&S machines until they comply with legislative requirements.

In the meantime, counties are instructed to hand count paper ballots. Legislative stipulations before electronic machines can be returned include, among other specifications, that electronic voting machines must be manufactured of U.S.-made parts and tabulator software code must be made available to the public.

At issue is which governmental body has ultimate authority over the “time, place, and manner of elections,” as protected in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution.

In a release published on Twitter, Arizona State Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli wrote:

The Legislature is exercising our plenary authority to see that no electronic voting systems in the state of Arizona are used as the primary method for conducting, counting, tabulating, or verifying federal elections unless those systems meet necessary standards of protection.

The majority leader continued:

The federal government has made it very clear that elections equipment is considered a target by those who want to threaten the safety and security of our country. We have ignored this elephant in the room by allowing electronic voting systems made with parts produced in countries considered adversaries to the United States to be used as the primary method for conducting our elections.

Borelli released a statement calling on county supervisors statewide “first and foremost” to protect national security during future elections. He declared it was in the state’s and the nation’s best interest to comply with the implementation of “security measures to protect our republic.”

Wendy Rogers noted that the discovery process of the recent lawsuit between gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake (R) against proclaimed-contest-winner Katie Hobbs (D) exposed evidence of election machine compromise.

She said:

The trial brought out several sets of data truths…. It came out.

As a result, the Arizona legislature appears to be applying, in part, a Department of Homeland Security designation of elections systems as critical infrastructure in 2017. The Borelli release cited the DHS designation.

This means these electronic systems must have safeguards in place to prevent any attacks which threaten our national security.

According to the Phoenix New Times, Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs (C/G):

[H]as made a habit of giving Republican-backed legislation a one-way ticket to the veto bin.

Her veto of Senate Bill 1074, which brought her term-of-office vetoes to a reported 86, appears to have crossed a red line for the state’s Republican-majority legislature and sparked SCR 1037.

The Borelli release stated:

This session, the Senate passed legislation that would have fulfilled federal government requirements to protect critical elections infrastructure. However, Senate Bill 1074 was vetoed by the Governor.

AZ Communist/Globalist Stolen-Election Governor Katie Hobbs

HB 2613 would have required vote recording and tabulating equipment purchased on or after Jan. 1, 2028, to be 100% sourced, manufactured, and assembled in the United States. She also vetoed H.B. 2305, which would have increased the ability of political parties to observe the verification of mail ballot signatures and imposed new ballot handling and record-keeping requirements. H.B. 2308 would have prohibited the secretary of state from personally performing any aspect of election operations for any election in which they are a candidate on the ballot, except for the constitutional duty to certify the statewide canvass.

Hobbs did, however, approve a historic budget that included election funding and tax rebates.

Tammy Clark, vice president of Stand Up Michigan, sounded elated as she summarized the situation to this writer.

The Arizona legislature has brilliantly taken back their plenary authority, granted to all legislative bodies by the US Constitution, in the event of a national security threat. The Department of Defense defined electronic voting machines as critical infrastructure with U.S. national security in 2017, and there is evidence that these machines have been compromised. Therefore, the legislature has the authority to intervene. Their approach was genius, and there’s nothing the governor or the SOS can do about it! So Arizona is returning to paper ballots for all federal elections!

Senator Rogers said:

When we 16 senators are united, as we well are, we can do great things. We got this through. Irrespective of how the judge rules, we’re in this for the long haul.

God speed to Arizona Fair Elections and to Kari Lake.
