Arizona State Sen. Anthony Kern couldn’t overrule the will of the voters by posing as a fake elector, so now he’s got a new plan:
Kern hasn’t exactly been a democracy defender, but this is truly a new low. If passed, Kern's legislation would give the state legislature complete control over appointing electors. In other words, the popular vote would mean absolutely nothing in Arizona’s presidential elections.
We can’t stress this enough: our democracy is under attack. Can you help elect Democratic Secretaries of State keep the power of elections firmly in the hands of the people? Chip in now→

Republicans across the country spent the last several years trying everything to overturn democratic election results. But this isn’t just another result challenge, it’s an attempt to end democracy altogether.
In the last presidential election, Biden won the popular vote in Arizona – an essential step in defeating Trump.
If this bill had been in effect, their majority MAGA legislature could have simply ignored the results and appointed like-minded electors to install Trump back in the White House.
Democratic Secretaries of State are essential in ensuring our votes have value. Knowing what they're up against, can you chip in now to keep pro-democracy leaders in office?
Thank you for stepping up,
