Phoenix – When Arizona was among the last states to complete Tallying Lades in General Elections in 2024. years, the state republicans called it to the laughter of the nation and returned their push to get faster results.
Fast legislation is aimed at accelerating voting ballots by moving the voters to emit early ballot leaves, but the democratic government Katie Hobbs on Tuesdays is concerned about being more difficult to vote.
Her office threatened this month earlier, which led to negotiations that eventually failed to produce some compromises Hobbs sought to ensure extended access to voters, according to her spokesperson, according to her spokesperson Christian Slater.
“Unfortunately, any potential compromise was rejected, he led to believe that the focus of this legislation is voters separate, and not delivering the faster results for Arizonane”, said Hobbs in her message to lawmakers.
Arizona’s choice results tend to Enter after other states Partly due to the signature verification procedure that states the right term for the mail ballots. Voters can currently drop their ballots at polling stations by 19 hours on the day of the election. In recent elections, the state took close to two weeks to report their results.
The Republican President of the Senate Warren Petersen was among those who called on the deadline for rejection of the voted post office in four days. The Arizona County Association said most state county showners supported the account. He called the veto “huge mistake.”
Petersen said Bill was a reflection of the Florida system, where Overlessin most voices are reported on an election night, allowing faster calls to the race.
In the post on the X, the president of the Arizona Steve Montenegro house also accused Hobbs and democratic laws on blocking reforms aimed at securing timely and transparent election results.
“If they won’t treat, letters, Arizona have the final say,” he said, referring to another proposal that moved to the Senate. This measure, such as failed legislation, would ask the issue the relocation of the deadline for rejection of the voice for the mail, among other reforms of the election administration, before voters.
Arizona was a pioneer in spreading votes since the 1990s, but only in the past decade, the pace of voice counting became a problem. When the Republicans dominated the state, the winners of most races were obvious on the election night even as elective officials continued to count ballots. But on the state races are now much closer, in some cases in a shared percentage point, postponing the time when media organizations can declare the winner and drawing of national supervision from voters who would know the outcome of the Presidency and key races.

Pinal County Recorder Dana Lewis, which supported Bill, said the proposed deadline would enable the menus to collect most of the election ballots before the election night, allowing you to start the signature verification process before.
If the deadline was performed on Friday, and officials could not check the signature of voters, voters could vote on the polls on the day of the election, not to wait up to five days after the election night, Lewis said.
