GOP's 1,000-voter precinct plan would cost Arizona counties $53 million

[RandySF]

A Republican proposal to force voters to cast their ballots at neighborhood voting sites would cost Arizona counties more than $50 million the first year and more than $20 million every election year.

And the plan to limit those voting precincts to just 1,000 voters means counties would have to find nearly 4,000 new voting locations.

Jen Marson, executive director of the Arizona Association of Counties, has repeatedly told lawmakers that the proposal would put a financial burden on the counties and would be logistically impossible to implement.

Earlier this year, Rep. Alexander Kolodin, a Scottsdale Republican, told the Arizona Mirror that he didn’t necessarily believe it when county representatives told him and other members of the House Elections Committee that some of their election reform plans would be too costly and difficult to carry out.

1. Are they nuts? This is an stupid plan, by the GOP, to address some paranoia in how elections should

be handled / processed / run.

First of all, in MO for example, we have churches, schools, and other institutions that act as temporary voting sites, with volunteers who staff and run the election at each site, so trying to get multiples times each site that can only handle 1000 voters each? ehhhh, Good Luck! I am just wondering what logic are they coming up w/?

NOTE: this proposal was about when issues w/ long lines and printer problems occurred during the 2022 election cycle.

Conclusions (by me), don't let these idiots run a budget or handle money for local governments

Maybe they should call in someone who handles budgets at their homes to come in and suggest fixes? I daresay that they would come up w/ more numerous and better solutions.
