The No. 2 Republican in the Arizona Senate is telling county election officials they cannot use electronic equipment unless it is manufactured and assembled in the U.S.. Election officials say that's not true.
Howard Fischer PHOENIX — The No. 2 Republican in the Arizona Senate is telling county election officials they cannot use electronic equipment to cast, record and tabulate ballots unless it is manufactured and assembled in the United States — equipment not currently available.
But Borrelli pointed out that both the Arizona House and Senate approved a separate resolution — which does not require gubernatorial consent — with essentially the same provisions as the vetoed bill. He told county supervisors that from now on they can use only equipment for elections that meets the domestic content requirement.
Fontes said if Borrelli and other lawmakers want to impose the mandate, they have to round up the legislative votes to amend the actual law and then have it signed by the governor,"which is not the case for this non-binding resolution.'' "Voting systems are designated as 'critical infrastructure' by the Department of Homeland Security,'' Montenegro said, meaning"strict regulation regarding component sourcing, manufacturing and production" is needed.Borrelli said her action doesn't matter. He said the resolution adopted by a majority of the House and Senate trumps the governor.
Fontes referred any other legal questions to Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes. A spokesman for Mayes said the resolution on which Borrelli relies"has no legal weight.'' Kim Quintero, spokeswoman for the Senate GOP, said Borrelli"is working independently of the Senate majority with regards to this topic.''Hickman said he understands what Borrelli is trying to do.
