In order for any legal resident to challenge the SOS decision, they would have to have access to the documents.
This bill would have provided accountability to the SOS, and added 3 other layers to catch a wrong decision if the SOS acted out of line: a legal resident who challenged the SOS decision, state court, and the US Supreme Court. This bill was about accountability, the rule of law, and allowing individuals to PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.
Jan Brewer vetoed a law that would create accountability. Somebody noted that she was the SOS who allowed Obama on the ballot in 2008. Maybe she has a little bit of a conflict of interest here, not wanting there to be accountability or transparency...
Thanks for the details. It’s a head-scratcher. She certainly has taken a lot of abuse for the decisions we support; one would’ve thought she could handle this one, too. I don’t know enough of the legalities to begin to guess what she’s being told by advisers and “advisers”.
