Another excellent reason for Democrats to double-down on 2022 election turnout

https://signalpress.blogspot.com/2022/03/and-ignorance-just-goes-onand-onand-on.html

The Arizona Senate is still stuck on the 2020 election. In spite of an avalanche of evidence which shows that the final tally of Arizona's ballots, specifically those in Maricopa County, the most populous county in the state, was accurate, state senators keep insisting on issuing subpoenas and gathering evidence, based on phony conspiracy theories. The Republicans in that senate just can't seem to wrap their minds around the fact that this has been coming for a while and that Maricopa County, with 4.5 million people, the largest county in the state and fourth largest in the entire nation, no longer has a Republican majority.

Getting one Republican out of the mess and getting their vote to kill the bill that would place more power in the hands of the attorney general to "investigate" elections was a great start. All elections matter, mid-terms clearly as much as any others do. This is a great example of a place where Democrats can make a real difference. The Arizona legislature is ripe for a flip, given the number of Democrats who have registered to vote in the state since the last election cycle. All this silliness, and the disaster of the Cyber Ninjas have pushed a lot of independent voters to the left, as have the antics of Senate President Karen Fann, who seems to be living up to her first name in alienating members of her own party.

Who counts the votes is what matters. That is why the Republicans are working so hard to be in total control of the election process. They don't even make excuses for trying to rig the system in their favor any more, if we don't like it, tough...
