1/3 🚨BUDGET ALERT:🚨Late-night amendment decimates the #SOS election services budget, which is crucial for ensuring we have the infrastructure in place to keep our elections secure and fair.

2/3 This also means the state cannot meet the match required by the Help America Vote Act Grant. Counties will lose out on $750K of #HAVA funds, that should be used to enhance election security measures.

3/3 To top it off, the amount appropriated for the Presidential Preference Election is not even close to the $7M county election officials said they need to ensure the PPE runs smoothly. #AZLeg #AZBudget
