AZ State Senator Borrelli Throws Down The Gauntlet, ORDERS County Supervisors to Comply With SCR1037 Which Bans Foreign Voting Machines in Arizona

 Arizona State Senator Sonny Borrelli put Arizona County Supervisors on notice this morning with a notice to stop using foreign machines in their elections.

Article 1 Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution gives State Legislatures the power to "Regulate the 'Times, Places and Manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives.'" As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, The Arizona House and Senate passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 1037, setting official requirements for the use of electronic voting machines in the state and banning the use of those that use foreign components.

Senator Borrelli issued the following press release this morning: Senate Majority Leader Calls on County Supervisors Statewide to Protect National Security During Future Elections PHOENIX, ARIZONA- Arizona State Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli is notifying all County Board of Supervisors within the state of Arizona via letter today that they must first and foremost prioritize protecting national security during any future elections.

The Legislature is exercising our plenary authority to see that no electronic voting systems in the state of Arizona are used as the primary method for conducting, counting, tabulating, or verifying federal elections, unless those systems meet necessary standards of protection.

"We have long ignored this elephant in the room by allowing electronic voting systems made with parts produced in countries considered adversaries to the United States to be used as the primary method for conducting our elections. It is in our state's and nation's best interest that we comply with implementation of security measures to protect our republic." Borrelli sent the following letter to all Arizona County Supervisor Chairmen: Dear Chair, The purpose of this letter is to inform you of the latest update from the 56° Legislature, First Regular Session on necessary national security measures.

A press release issued by the office of the United States Secretary of Homeland Security on January 17, 2017, clearly states the designation of election infrastructure.

Enshrined in Article I, Section 4, Clause I of the United States Constitution, "Times, places and manner" of conducting federal elections specifically conveys electronic voting systems are not mandated in statute to be used as a primary method for counting, tabulating or verification.
