Arizona currently leads the nation in introducing legislation meant to restrict voters’ access to the polls, but it is hard to tell that from watching local broadcast news in the state. As of April 1, 23 proposed laws are working their way through the state’s legislature, including two, SB 1485 and SB 1713, that have already passed the state Senate.
A Media Matters review of Arizona local television found there were 42 segments that mentioned one or more of these bills throughout the month of March, but only a fraction of these referenced the disproportionate impacts the proposed voting restrictions would have on voters of color and just one segment correctly reported that claims of mass voter fraud in the state’s 2020 election were false.
