Arizona Republicans are proposing a statute allowing them to throw out the Secretary of State’s certification of electoral votes at any point before the inauguration:

The Republican chair of Arizona’s state House Ways and Means Committee introduced a bill Wednesday that would give the Legislature authority to override the secretary of state’s certification of its electoral votes.

GOP Rep. Shawnna Bolick introduced the bill, which rewrites parts of the state’s election law, such as sections on election observers and securing and auditing ballots, among other measures.

One section grants the Legislature, which is currently under GOP control, the ability to revoke the secretary of state’s certification “by majority vote at any time before the presidential inauguration.”

“The legislature may take action pursuant to this subsection without regard to whether the legislature is in regular or special session or has held committee or other hearings on the matter.”

A request for comment from Arizona’s secretary of state was not immediately returned.

One of the state’s Democratic congressman, Ruben Gallego, said if the bill passed, he would work to have it defeated by public referendum.

In related news, if Kyrsten Sinema continues to support the filibuster, hence making a new federal voting rights act impossible, she will bear some responsibility should this be passed and go into effect.
