The State Senate passed legislation down party lines sponsored by State Senator Mark Finchem (R-Prescott) on Monday that would increase the security of paper ballots. SB 1123 requires the use of at least three of 10 fraud countermeasures on ballots. Accusations arose in recent elections that unofficial ballots were submitted that did not conform to the required standards, raising suspicions they were artificially inserted into the elections process by bad actors. The bill moves to the State House of Representatives next.
“Arizonans deserve fair and accurate elections, free from fraud and illegal influence,” said Finchem in a statement released by Senate Republicans. “This bill was carefully crafted and is a commonsense solution that will increase voter confidence.

Fraud has no place in our election system, and this bill will make it more of a challenge for bad actors to manipulate the system.”
