The Sunday Read: States taxing PPP to cover for bad decisions is bad business
At the request of Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, two organizations analyzed the state’s election audit process and found room for improvement. The Brennan Center for Justice and the R Street Institute released a report Monday that said Arizona’s election laws need changes. They stressed the state’s 2020 general election was held safely and securely, but a political party can quash a post-election audit if it refuses to participate. In place of the state’s mandatory hand-count audits, the organizations suggested risk-limiting audits that they say call a “check on the election outcome.”
