The AZ GOP has snuck all kinds of anti-voter provisions into the budget deal that passed the Arizona State Senate very late Tuesday night and could pass the House as soon as today.

Some of the most concerning (and bizarre) provisions include...
1. Taking away the power to settle election-related lawsuits from the Sec. of State (a Democrat), and giving it to the Attorney General (a Republican). Total power grab! Applies only til Jan 2023 - just in case a Democrat becomes AG in 2022
2. Authorizing the Attorney General and outside third parties hired by the legislature (did someone say Cyber Ninjas?) to sift through the voter registration database, and giving them the power to remove people from the rolls

It's currently 9 PM and Republicans in the Arizona Senate are rushing through one of the most reckless budget plans in the history of Arizona. This plan does nothing but undermine Prop 208 — at the cost of resources for everyday Arizonans. Watch ⬇️ #AZLEG

"It's expensive to be poor in Arizona." - @NavarreteAZ as he votes NO on the proposed budget flat tax plan.
It is now 10PM and the @AZSenateGOP is currently attempting to pass a complete power grab against the Secretary of State. Despite @SecretaryHobbs being elected by Arizonans across the state, Republicans in the #AZLEG are attempting to strip away as much of her power as possible.

.@Dougducey has officially signed #SB1457 into law. All the efforts & over 2,000 signatures collected had a great impact on how this legislation is pushed out & the fight is definitely not over.

We fought against this horrible bill for these reasons:

#AZLEG (1/6)
This bill criminalizes doctors who perform an abortion based on genetic abnormalities with a Class 3 FELONY.

This puts doctors who perform abortion-care in Arizona in an incredibly difficult position, as they could receive a felony for providing basic healthcare. (2/6) #AZLEG
The litigation efforts that will come due to this bill will be extremely costly & will take away from more important issues throughout our state like COVID-19 relief.

This is what the @AZSenateGOP would rather focus on than addressing real issues facing our state. #AZLEG (3/6)

We are here with the Reproductive Rights Coalition to deliver over 2,000 petition signatures asking Gov. Ducey to veto #SB1457 #AZLeg #handsoffaz
“This is a bill contrary to 76% of Arizona voters, who believe that personal medical decisions are between a patient and a doctor. This is our legislatures’ attempt to pander to extremists” -@CiviaTamarkin
“This is a bill that puts lives in danger and something that very few people pay attention to it is a violation of the first amendment establishment clause on freedom of religion because this bill attempts to enshrine one religious belief into law” -@CiviaTamarkin

If you live in Maricopa County, your 2020 ballot is currently sitting at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum, in the hands of a company called Cyber Ninjas, run by someone active in the "Stop the Steal" conspiracy.

A quick recap of where things stand:
The ballots are being counted by volunteers in a non-secure facility with minimal protocols in place.

There is almost no transparency and reporters have been refused access.

Arizona has 7.2 million people. Later today, about 30 of them will gather for a rally at the State Capitol calling for stay at home orders to be lifted.

A quick thread about where these protests are really coming from. (1/11)
The real story with these stay at home protests is that they're just. so. small.

The vast majority of Americans support continued social distancing.

And aren't dumb enough to congregate in large groups right now.

Meanwhile, these protests are being coordinated at a national level and pushed aggressively by Fox News and President Trump. Many have identical descriptions and websites that were registered all at the same time.
