According to Governor Ducey:
[T]he mechanics of elections cannot be in question, and therefore all third-party money must be excluded going forward to avoid any possible allegations of wrongdoing.
The less state election administration is influenced by outside groups, the greater honesty, openness, and transparency there can be in elections. RNLA applauds Arizona Governor Doug Ducey for signing HB 2569 and looks forward to other states enacting similar legislation in the near future.
Galling from Republicans who are absolutely ok with taking private funds for their fraudit.
The real reason they are passing these laws:
For the Republicans, the funded counties’ votes increased by 46 percent more than the rate at which unfunded counties increased. For Democrats, funded counties’ votes skyrocketed upwards 81 percent more quickly than they rose in unfunded counties.
emphasis mine
To be clear, their argument is we need to ban this because it causes more people to vote. Just another data point in the GOP’s crusade against Democracy.
