After opponents of last year’s election reform legislation gathered enough signatures to allow voters to uphold or strike down the law in the 2014 election, Republican lawmakers who approved the law said they got the message.
The House of Representatives approved a bill to repeal the elections law, HB2305, and the Senate Judiciary Committee approved an identical bill, with a full vote from the Senate expected soon.
Republicans who originally supported the law argued that by repealing the law, they are carrying out the “will of the people” who gathered the signatures more than 110,000 valid signatures from Arizona voters to put last year’s HB2305 on the November ballot.
