Arizona's MAGA legislators are terrified of Arizona's voters and it shows

It has become increasingly clear that far-right Republican legislators … are absolutely terrified of Arizona voters.

Last week, it was a bill aimed at making it more difficult for voters to amend the state Constitution. Senate Bill 1002 asks voters to require 60% passage, rather than a simple majority, to pass a constitutional amendment.

“Too many times we’ve all seen our constitution changed, sometimes good, mainly for the bad and I would like to see that changed,” the bill’s sponsor, Sen. Anthony Kern, R-Peoria, told the Senate Elections Committee last week.

It’s not surprising that he would feel that way, given that the Republican Party's grip on state government is slipping.
