AZ: Katie Hobbs (D) vetoed a trio of Republican election bills

Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs has vetoed her first Republican election bills this year.

On April 10, Hobbs vetoed bills passed by the GOP-controlled legislature that would ban those convicted of ballot abuse from holding elected office and prevent county recorders from providing voter registration cards to most of those whose mailing addresses are outside of the state.

She also vetoed a bill that would have required political parties that opt to conduct their own presidential primary election instead of participating in the publicly administered one to provide accommodations to allow disabled voters and overseas military personnel to participate.

Those are only a few of the numerous election-related bills that Republicans in the state legislature proposed this year, with many of them failing to make it to a vote in both chambers.
