A Republican lawmaker in Arizona is pushing legislation in the state’s House of Representatives that would allow the state’s Legislature to overturn primary or general election results.
The legislation was introduced by state Rep. John Fillmore, a Republican, and it would be a significant overhaul of Arizona’s voting procedure.
If passed, the majority of early and absentee voting would be eliminated, and Arizonans would be required to vote in their respective home precinct, according to a report.

However, the most dramatic change the legislation would bring would be the requirement to convene for a special session following an election to either “accept or reject the election results.”
Fillmore’s effort is the latest in a series of those by Copper State Republicans who have sought to investigate the election of President Joe Biden and establish more stringent election policies.
“We should have voting, in my opinion, in-person, one day, on paper, with no electronic means, and hand-counting that day. We need to get back to 1958-style voting,” Fillmore said.
The state representative has reportedly been highly skeptical of the audits and findings regarding the 2020 election.
“I don’t care what the press says. I don’t trust ABC, CBS, NBC, or Fox, or anybody out there. Everybody’s lying to me, and I feel like I have a couple hundred ex-wives hanging around me,” Fillmore said.
