Currently, the candidate who wins the popular vote gets Arizona’s electors.
They then cast their votes on the same day in December alongside all the other electors across the country.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 1014 would override that process entirely.
Instead, the Arizona legislature would have the sole authority to appoint the presidential electors — regardless of which candidate actually received the most votes.
The proposal comes from State Sen. Anthony Kern. The Glendale Republican was a frequent figure in the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
