Arizona Election Law
January 27th, 2006 by MikeI am doing some research that requires reading portions of the election code for each of the 50 states. I just found this gem of a law in Arizona.
If the ballots in the box are still found to exceed in number the names on the poll lists, the ballots, except those destroyed, shall be replaced in the box, and one of the judges shall, without looking in the box, draw therefrom, one at a time, and destroy unopened, a number of ballots equal to the excess…
I can’t think of a better solution off the top of my head, but the thought of a law that intentionally requires that votes be destroyed is scary.
