Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs signed into law a proposal that will give election workers more time to tally votes.
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs signed into law a proposal that will give election workers more time to tally votes after county officials complained that a 2022 change in law would make it difficult to complete counting votes in time if the results were close enough to trigger a mandatory recount. In a social media posting Friday afternoon, the Democratic governor said, "With this bill, we’re making sure Arizonans will have their voices heard at the ballot box.
Counties had said Friday was the last day to make the changes before this summer's primary becomes untenable.The changes are prompted by a 2022 measure that increased the threshold for recounts, which are now triggered when candidates are within 0.5% of each other. The previous margin for a mandatory recount was one-tenth of 1%.Arizona’s results from the 2020 presidential race, when Democrat Joe Biden beat Republican Donald Trump by 10,457 votes, didn’t go to an automatic recount.
