This bill proposes to amend Title 16, Chapter 4, Article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 16-410.01, which would affirm the importance of the Electoral College in presidential elections. The new language emphasizes that the Electoral College was established by the Founding Fathers as the preferred method for selecting the President, ensures participation from all regions of the country, and provides certainty in election outcomes.
The bill does not delete any existing statutes but introduces several points that outline the legislature's stance on the Electoral College, thereby updating the current legal framework to reflect this affirmation. The insertions serve to clarify the reasons behind the continued relevance of the Electoral College in the electoral process.
