Claiming that the potential that Maine and Colorado could keep Donald Trump off the ballot after disqualifying himself per the 14th Amendment, a Republican in Arizona seeks to disenfranchise all the voters in the entire state by automatically assigning all eleven of the state’s Electoral College electors to the GOP candidate, saying conversely the move was “the only way to protect the people’s presidential vote in 2024.”

Introduced by first-term Republican state rep Rachel Jones in committee, per the Arizona Daily Star, the bill cites a string of Supreme Court rulings that highlight the state’s power to assign delegates, but it completely ignores the fact that by assigning the state’s delegates to (presumably) Donald Trump, Jones’s bill would negate every vote in her state.

In the legislation, Jones claims “the last two elections have been riddled with controversy 26 and lawsuits with rules, forms and procedures of the election broken that has led to low public confidence in how elections are run; and public distrust in our elections has been steadily declining and no significant change in election security has been implemented since 2020 to protect the people’s presidential vote in 2024; and the only way to protect the people’s presidential vote in 2024 is to control the manner of its election.”

For the record, Jones introduced the bill in committee.  Even the Republicans on the committee found it ridiculous:  the chair of the state house Committee on Municipal Oversight and Elections, Republican Barbara Parker, adjourned the meeting without even recognizing the submission of the proposed legislation.
