Arizona Republican House speaker effectively dooms GOP bill to allow legislature to reject election results
It always amuses me when republicucks can't get what they want, they immediately move to terms like "lynching" and "holocaust." It's because they're just fucking stupid and don't know other words. For your amusement:
A Republican bill that would have overhauled elections in Arizona -- including giving the state legislature the power to reject election results -- proved to be too much even for state GOP leaders this week.
Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, a Republican, quietly doomed House Bill 2596 on Tuesday with an unusual parliamentary maneuver.
The speaker assigns all new bills to a committee for consideration before they can have full House votes, a choice that often has a great effect on a measure's chance of success. But on Tuesday, Bowers took the unprecedented step of ordering all 12 House committees to consider the elections bill, virtually ensuring it will never reach the floor.
The bill's lead sponsor, Republican state Rep. John Fillmore, referred to the move as a "12-committee lynching" in an interview with CNN affiliate KPHO/KTVK.
Bowers and Fillmore did not respond to CNN's request for comment Thursday.
Even the head GOP House rep in AZ has had enough of this dumb shit.
