Arizona lawmakers propose new bill which can reject election results
Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - More than a dozen republican lawmakers in Arizona have proposed a new bill that would allow them to reject election results.
According to the proposal, if legislators reject the results a voter could then file in court to have the state hold a new election.
The bill's lead sponsor says it ensures the integrity of the voting process, but a voting rights group argues the bill allows those who lose a race to set aside the will of the people.
If passed, the proposal would make other changes in the state's election procedures, including eliminating Arizona's early voting-by-mail program and requiring election workers to hand-count ballots.
