   Arizona lawmakers dodged a possible electoral nightmare this week, with   
   members from both parties coming together to overwhelmingly approve a   
   legislative tweak to the battleground state’s election policies ahead of   
   the 2024 presidential contest.   
      
   State election officials warned last year that in a close race,   
   Arizona's new automatic recount rules could have left them   
   double-checking ballots well past the deadline for sending their   
   presidential electors to Washington, D.C. Such extended counting could   
   have prevented Arizona’s Electoral College votes from being counted in   
   the presidential election.   
      
   The bill moves the state’s primary to July 30th from August 6th, and   
   changes other policies to ensure that election workers have enough time   
   to count ballots and that military and overseas voters receive their   
   ballots in a timely fashion. The bill also enshrines signature   
   verification policies into state law, a provision Republicans sought in   
   negotiations over the bill.   
      
   Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, applauded the legislation that now   
   heads to her desk for a signature.   
      
   “While this legislation isn’t perfect, it’s the result of hard-fought   
   compromises from everyone involved. Arizonans can rest assured that   
   their voices will be heard and that our elections will run free of   
   political interference,” she said in a statement.   
      
   The bill received broad support from state legislators. Just four   
   Republicans cast no votes, with all other voting members in both parties   
   backing the bill in both chambers.   
      
   Arizona became a hotbed of election conspiracy theories after former   
   President Donald Trump and his allies challenged the razor thin margins   
   of his 2020 loss. Republican lawmakers have spent years criticizing the   
   state's election policies, supporting a discredited audit and demanding   
   changes.   
      
   In 2022, state lawmakers increased the threshold for an automatic   
   recount from 0.1% to 0.5% in an attempt to increase confidence in   
   elections. In 2020, the Arizona presidential race was decided by 0.3% of   
   the vote, and similar results this year may trigger an automatic   
   recount.
