.MaddowBlog: There are at least some Republican policymakers who apparently believe that politicians should have veto power over voters.
As a rule, it's best not to get too excited about random proposals floated in state legislatures. Every year, individual state lawmakers introduce all kinds of strange ideas, the vast majority of which stand no chance of becoming law. It's best to focus attention on policies that will actually affect people, not outlandish longshots.
Under Fillmore's model, Arizona's legislature would be required to hold a special session after the state's votes have been tallied. At that point, lawmakers would review the results, examine election processes, and make a decision about whether to"accept or reject the election results." By way of a defense, Fillmore reportedly said at a committee hearing this week,"We should have voting in my opinion in person, one day, on paper, with no electronic means and hand counting that day. We need to get back to 1958-style voting."
It's important to emphasize that Fillmore's bill stands no realistic chance of success. It has not received support from GOP leaders in the legislature, and it almost certainly won't be endorsed by Arizona's Republican governor, Doug Ducey.
