The Move To Clean Government Raises Some Dirty Constitutional Questions.
By Emil Franzi Sean Zapata
LAST NOVEMBER, Arizona voters narrowly passed Proposition
200, the so-called Clean Elections Proposal, over surprisingly
minimal opposition. Ironically, while publicly attacking dirty
money, Prop 200 supporters were funded by almost a million
dollars worth of out-of-state cash. Apparently one person s special
interest is someone else s noble cause. For the record,
The Weekly vociferously opposed Prop 200.
We saw it as a classic case of making a bad situation current
campaign finance law even worse with a scheme that trades the
perceived tyranny of lobbyists checkbooks for the even scarier
tyranny of the academic mandarin.

Months after Trumpâs election defeat, Arizona Republicans are recounting the vote

PHOENIX â It seemed so simple back in December.
Responding to angry voters who echoed former President Donald Trumpâs false claims of a stolen election, Arizona Republicans promised a detailed review of the vote that showed Trump to have been the first Republican presidential nominee to lose the state since 1996.
âWe hold an audit,â state Sen. Eddie Farnsworth said at a Judiciary Committee hearing. âAnd then we can put this to rest.â
But when a parade of flatbed trucks last week hauled boxes of voting equipment and 78 pallets containing the 2.1 million ballots of Arizonaâs largest county to a decrepit local coliseum, it kicked off a seat-of-the-pants audit process that seemed more likely to amplify Republican grievances than to put them to rest.
