Two Arizona ‘Republican’ State Senators Kill Election Integrity Bill Before Adjournment (VIDEO)

rizona State Senators Michelle Ugenti-Rita and Paul Boyer voted with Democrats to kill State Senator Kelly Townsend’s SB1241, which had over 34 serious election integrity and security provisions.

Senate Government Committee Chairwoman Michelle Ugenti-Rita led the charge in killing this bill claiming that it was ominous and “half-baked”.

RINO Boyer previously co-sponsored a resolution to hold the County Board of Supervisors in contempt for their non-compliance with the Arizona Senate, then voted “no”. That vote killed the resolution.

SB1241 was meant to Outline requirements for chain of custody, as well as consequences of a chain of custody violation. It also requires ballot receipts for voters and utilizes the Arizona Department of Transportation and County Recorder to clean voter rolls.

Paul Boyer listened to Ugenti-Rita’s instruction and sided with Democrats as well.

I support the SB1241 election integrity bill and am appalled that we do not have the votes to pass this bill. Please call your senators and make sure they are on board! We must pass SB1241 to protect election integrity in Arizona!

These two killed this bill because it did not align with their agenda.

State Senator Townsend told TGP that Ugenti-Rita refused to talk to Townsend and amend the bill until it was too late. She never even gave the bill a hearing or put it on the calendar.

Ugenti-Rita told Townsend that if she removed the chain of custody clauses that she would vote yes with Republicans.  Ugenti-Rita claimed that Townsend went around her with these chain of custody clauses.

State Senator Townsend told The Gateway Pundit that Ugenti-Rita was “hellbent on getting those portions out” and wonders why.

As Senate Government Committee Chairwoman, Michelle Ugenti-Rita handles election bills. After calling Townsend’s bill “half baked” and “omnibus”, she killed the bill instead of offering amendment suggestions as she could have.

Townsend says that she doesn’t even know that Ugenti read the bill.

Ugenti-Rita is running for Arizona Secretary of State in the 2022 midterm. She doesn’t support these critical election security measures but she wants to run Arizona’s elections?

Here you have hardcore Democrats supporting today’s action by @MichelleUgenti when she killed serious election integrity provisions in my bill, SB1251 . That tells you EVERYTHING you need to know. https://t.co/3xELaOgEhI
