Arizona Governor Hobbs Vetoes Multiple Controversial Bills.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed four election bills passed by the state legislature, including one that would have allowed political party-appointed individuals to observe the signature verification process and another that would have required the secretary of state to recuse themselves from overseeing elections in which they are a candidate. Hobbs also vetoed a bill that would have released more voter registration and ballot image data to the public and another that would have required 100% of the components of a voting or tabulating machine to be sourced in the United States, which she said could create a situation where Arizona’s election administrators are no longer able to procure certifiable voting and tabulating equipment.
