State Sen. Anthony Kern was heavily involved in the attempts to overturn the 2020 election in Arizona
Arizona State Senator Anthony Kern, R, is pushing to give the state legislature power in appointing presidential electors, regardless of who wins the popular vote, through a new piece of proposed legislation.
As it currently stands in Arizona, the winner of the popular vote gets to determine the state’s electors, however, Kern is looking to override that process entirely.
With Senate Concurrent Resolution 1014 , the Arizona legislature would be the sole decider of appointing electors, no matter the winner of the popular vote.
Should the legislation pass, it will appear on the state’s November ballots for voters to decide if it should be enshrined in the state constitution.
Kern was heavily involved in the attempts to overturn the 2020 election in the Grand Canyon State and signed a document falsely claiming to be a state elector for former President Donald Trump.
He was also reportedly photographed at the Capitol Building during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.
