Arizonans remember well the fiasco of the 2022 mid-term elections. As all other states' results came in on election night, we watched for hours and days and even weeks to get the results here in Arizona.
Why? Simple. The Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, was running for Governor. Residents watched over the days and weeks as the Republican lead(s) of the five top state offices slowly disappeared, one by one. Starting of course, with the Governor's office as Hobbs slowly but surely passed her rival Kari Lake as 'all the votes' got counted. Just like 2004 in Washington state with Christine Gregoire vs. Dino Rossi.
Well, she let the office of State Treasurer elect a Republican. Most other offices from there on down went Republican too. Nothing to see here folks. The important one is Secretary of State anyways . . .
In 2024, it took Arizona a long time to tabulate the votes too. Isn't it odd that in the past, votes were able to get counted a lot faster than now? Especially since we have so much better technology? Well, I reckon it's because of the tech, it makes it easier for a crook like cartel Katel Hobbs to manipulate.
The people in Arizona are tired of it and have tasked their reps to fix it as the article below will show. You will read why cartel Katie vetoed this bill. Because it doesn't support those options that allow for mass fraud.
"Hobbs has publicly warned she would not support House Bill 2703 in its current version, after her office's negotiations with lawmakers stalled. A day before she made her opposition official with the ink of her veto pen, Republican House lawmakers advanced their backup plan: sending a similar measure to voters to decide instead.
"The governor again raised her objections in a Tuesday letter explaining her veto, and calling for measures like same day voter registration that Republicans rejected during negotiations."
Gov. Katie Hobbs vetoes GOP election bill, but Republicans have a backup plan
With all of Cartel Katie's vetos, here's a thought, one she may very well be thinking of:
"Seven weeks into her tenure as governor, Katie Hobbs is battling with the GOP-led legislature at every turn, and it seems unlikely that she’ll be able to accomplish much, if anything for the foreseeable future.
"She’s practically goading Republicans to send her every far-right proposal that they can, daring them to let her veto more bills in a single year than the 58 that Janet Napolitano, the last Democrat to occupy the Governor’s Office in Arizona, rejected in 2005.
It’s exactly how she should handle this legislature. And in doing so, she’s walking them into a political trap that could leave Republicans as the minority party at the Capitol."
Katie Hobbs should try to veto her way to a Democratic legislative majority
