An effort to channel $2 million into the state budget for a tool that could enable candidates to verify their election results ballot by ballot is being spearheaded by Arizona state Sen. Ken Bennett. "[G]ranting access to digital ballot images and voting records would head off frivolous challenges," he said.
Recall Arizona's elaborate recounts in 2020 to ascertain the true presidential victor. The process was costly and time-consuming, with exemplary bipartisan cooperation.
Bennett first introduced the plan in a senate bill that failed to pass two years in a row, so his latest route is a budget measure proposing the expenditure.
Unfortunately it isn't likely that the measure will apply in this year's elections.
