Great article on movie tax subsidies by opinion contributor Bob Robb! “Both major political parties profess to oppose corporate welfare….except when they’re voting for it.”

JUST NOW: The Senate passed HB2237, preventing same day voter registration and classifying a violation as a class 6 felony. It now heads to the Governor!

JUST NOW: The House has FAILED to pass SB1260, which would prevent duplicate voter registrations. Rep. Toma voted No so that he could motion to have the bill reconsidered.

And the House has FAILED to pass SB1362, allowing on-site tabulation of early ballots. Rep. Toma voted no to reconsider the bill.

Keep the pressure on! https://www.votervoice.net/AZFEC/Campaigns/92412/Respond

HB2238 (drop boxes), HB2617 (voter roll maintenance), and HB2710 (public upload of voter rolls and poll observers) have passed Senate COW.

Sen. Ugenti-Rita offered a floor amendment to HB2238 to prohibit drop boxes entirely, instead of require they be under 24 hour surveillance. It failed in COW, but Sen. Ugenti-Rita motioned to add the amendment into the report and has called for a roll call vote, which is occuring now.

The motion has failed to pass. HB2238 was originally a prohibition on drop boxes, but was amended to require 24 hour election staff or video surveillance IF they were to be used, in order to get enough votes in the House. If the bill passes on 3rd Read, it goes to the Governor.

The Senate has passed HB2236. Sponsored by Rep. Hoffman, HB2236 prohibits any governmental entity from registering a person to vote without the person’s affirmative request to register - proactively preventing automatic voter registration. The bill now heads to the Governor for signature.

The Senate has FAILED to pass HB2238. Sponsored by Rep. Hoffman, HB2238 would have prohibited the use of unmonitored drop boxes, requiring that they be under 24 hour election staff or video surveillance.

Sen. Ugenti-Rita is a No without her amendment to prohibit drop boxes entirely. Sen. Boyer called the bill an unfunded mandate during COW (though the bill does not mandate counties utilize drop boxes at all, rather it requires that they be under 24 hour surveillance IF they are used). Earlier in session, a prohibition did not have the votes to get out of the House.

The Senate has PASSED HB2617. Sponsored by Rep. Chaplik, HB2617 ensures clean and current voter rolls, requiring counties to check several databases monthly and cancel the registrations of those no longer qualified. The bill was amended in the Senate, so it will go back to the House for a Final Vote before going to the Governor. Thanks to the over 4,000 activists who sent emails to their Senators, and thank you Rep. Chaplik for sponsoring this bill!

The Senate has adjourned until tomorrow at 1:30PM. HB2710 did not go on the board for a vote.
