Republican Arizona state Sen. Anthony Kern recently filed a legislative proposal that would allow lawmakers to overturn elections.

Senate Concurrent Resolution 1014 would allow Arizona politicians to determine how electoral college votes are divvied up, stipulating that "the Legislature, and no other official, shall appoint presidential electors in accordance with the United States Constitution."

As noted by HuffPost, Kern's bill was not the first GOP-authored proposal in the state that suggests allowing legislators to overturn the certification of elections. In 2021, then-state Rep. Shawna Bolick, a Republican, proposed a bill that would have allowed the legislature to subvert a presidential election "at any time before the presidential inauguration." In 2022, then-state Rep. John Fillmore, another Republican, put forth a bill that would permit politicians to "accept or reject the election results” for any regular primary or general election.
