GOP bill would allow lawmakers to override electoral votes

By: Nathan Brown, Arizona Capitol Times January 28, 2021

The chairwoman of the House Ways and Means Committee introduced a bill January 27 that would allow the Legislature to override the secretary of state’s certification of the state’s electoral votes.

This article is behind a firewall and I could find no further mention of the bill when I searched. I'm posting this article so that possibly someone can elaborate on the details.

Doubt this goes anywhere but it’s shocking they would even attempt it.

Just to be clear this is for future elections and has no impact on the recent presidential election regardless of the outcome of this bill.
