Arizona is one of the states that, in the aftermath of the 2020 election, decided that statutory reforms were needed to make it easy to vote, but hard to cheat, to increase public confidence in the election result.
Under the Arizona Constitution, laws passed by elected legislatures can be overridden by ballot initiatives. Many of these initiatives impose measures that lawmakers reject after careful consideration. One such example of a left-wing initiative was Arizona’s forced taxpayer funding of political campaigns, which the U.S. Supreme Court struck down as an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment in Arizona Free Enterprise Club’s Freedom Club PAC v. Bennett (2011).
Billionaire activist George Soros largely funded the latest effort to override the elected legislature in the Grand Canyon State as his Open Society Foundation, as well as another activist group called Way to Win — which claims credit for Democrat victories in 2020 — funded a ballot initiative through a left-wing group with the euphemistic name: Arizonans for Free and Fair Elections. The well-financed activists submitted over 475,000 signatures.
Conservatives challenged the validity of these signatures. After a round of litigation, the Arizona Supreme Court sent the matter back to a Maricopa County judge for a final assessment. The trial judge held last week that the organizers had barely met the necessary 239,926 signatures, clearing that hurdle by only a couple thousand votes.

Had it succeeded, the Soros-backed measure would have repealed Arizona’s election integrity laws for the 2024 presidential election.
How can we continue to let that criminal Soros have ANY impact on our nation? He should be stripped of citizenship.
The man should be arrested and housed in DC jail, given a fair trial and a fine hanging.
I am certain that Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, and McCarthy will get right on that.
Uh huh.
Hmm, so people can produce invalid signatures. Shocked. I wonder if that had any impact in 2020 (of course I know the answer)
and flogged.
It’s time to put the Soros Family on a Terrorist List
We will not have a fair election until ALL of the electronic machines in existence are destroyed and we go to an all paper balloting system with a 100% transparent PRECINCT level count. Anything else is a system for fraud.
Congress needs to deter state efforts to make it easy to cheat. It can do this under its power to guarantee that states have a “Republican form of government.”
We blame George Soros but he has built a giant machine that does this work autonomously now. Even if he were a rotting corpse they would still be pushing this crap.
Yes we have a whole generation of mush headed useful idiots.
