Arizona Lawmakers Ban Voting Machines

Calling on AZ County Supervisors to Enact SCR1037

Arizona State Lawmakers Banned All Voting Machines and Electronic Devices but we need your help!

Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli (R) and members of the House and Senate passed a stunning and historic Resolution SCR 1037 ‘Elections; systems; equipment’, which immediately bars the use of all voting machines and electronic devices to conduct federal elections.

On May 22nd, Senator Borrelli sent an official letter to the heads of the 15 counties responsible for conducting local elections, notifying them that “no electronic voting systems in the state of Arizona may be used as the primary method for conducting, counting, tabulating, or verifying federal elections, unless those systems meet the requirements set forth in SCR 1037”.

Governor Hobbs, known as the “Veto Queen”, has vetoed a record breaking 105 bills this legislative session; 23 were election integrity related.

The passage of this Resolution was executed immediately after the passage of legislation of the same, anticipating Hobbs inevitable veto on this ‘critical infrastructure’ cybersecurity bill that presents a solution to what should be considered a grave national security risk that’s extremely vulnerable to foreign and domestic meddling.

As expected, Sec. of State Adrian Fontes stated on Twitter, “Senate Concurrent Resolution 1037, which expresses a desire to restrict the use of certain electronic voting machines, is non-binding and does not have the force of law. If those requirements or certification process were to be changed, it would require a regular bill to be passed by the legislature and signed by the governor—which is not the case for this non-binding resolution. We defer to the AG’s office on all other legal questions.” 

However, Senator Borrelli strongly asserts that the ‘plenary powers’ enshrined in our US Constitution, under Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1 provide Arizona’s legislative body ‘complete and absolute power to take action, with no limitations’ as the law prescribes, as it relates to the “times, places, and manner” of state elections.

The Left has been on a crusade to prevent the execution of this Resolution, attempting to confuse the definition of ‘plenary authority’, as something “non-binding” and a “radical interpretation”, yet this law has been observed exactly as written for 181 years.

SCR 1037 is a remarkable document that applies to all 50 states in that it itemizes 30 ‘Whereas’ declarations that clearly define the serious national security threat that electronic voting machines and all electronic devices pose and have not, nor can be, remedied in any state per the United States Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and 2018 United States Senate Intelligence Committee hearings. 

The summary of ‘Whereas statements’ declare the necessity of an election system to provide a fully transparent, auditable paper trail and complete open-source coding and digital records that are free and openly available to the public, which do not exist anywhere in the country.  

In fact, this document clearly demonstrates we are dealing with a national security emergency that requires immediate policy change in all 50 states if Americans can expect an honest, secure election in the future.

The only remedy to secure our elections is to restrict the use of all current voting technology and immediately restore conventional elections policy and procedure, which requires a hand count, paper ballot election that is fully traceable, auditable, and provides absolute chain of custody with real bi-partisan oversight from start to finish.  

A Conventional election is hardly a radical solution to our election security crisis. Modern electronic voting machines have only seen widespread use in the past few decades, sadly opting for convenience while unknowingly sacrificing security.

At least 24 Nations DO NOT use technology to conduct their federal elections including larger nations like Argentina, Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.   

Now the people need to step in and reinforce the authority of this Resolution by calling on the local Board of Supervisors to immediately implement this policy change at the local level.

Today is the day we ban all voting machines in Arizona!
