GOP Rep. Shawnna Bolick introduced the bill, which rewrites parts of the state's election law, such as sections on election observers and securing and auditing ballots, among other measures.
One section grants the Legislature, which is currently under GOP control, the ability to revoke the secretary of state's certification "by majority vote at any time before the presidential inauguration."

Man, these clowns have really gone off the deep end with this bulls***. At this point it's pretty clear that the GOP desires a dictatorship instead of a democracy. Perhaps states like AZ and Texas should just get it over with and secede from the nation. Then they can form their own special little authoritarian regime where they can continue to lick Trump's arse for the rest of eternity.
Sounds like there might be some push-back on this bill from at least one Arizona GOP member, so that's somewhat encouraging I guess.

Although Arizona GOP chair Kelli Ward, who is facing questions about her own reelection to the position, claimed the presidential election was stolen from Trump, other top Republicans have pushed back on such claims.
Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, a Republican, rebutted President Donald Trump’s meritless attempts to overturn the election results there in a sharply-worded statement in December 2020. He also dismissed the idea of the Legislature appointing its own electors to deliver the state's Electoral College votes to Trump.
"I voted for President Trump and worked hard to reelect him. But I cannot and will not entertain a suggestion that we violate current law to change the outcome of a certified election," he said at the time.
