Arizona House committee moves along 4 more election bills

House municipal oversight and elections committee Republicans pushed through four bills Wednesday evening that they say will improve the integrity of Arizona’s elections.
 

Following four election transparency bills voted through last week, these bills ranged from banning the use of ballot tabulation machines in favor of counting by hand, to opting for precinct-based voting to replace county-wide voting centers.

Republicans unanimously voted in favor, arguing that more election security should be a no-brainer.

“I hope this does not become a partisan issue,” said Representative Cory McGarr, a Republican from Pima County who sponsored three out of the four bills.
