Sen. Anthony Kern introduced a plan, known as Senate Concurrent Resolution 1014, that would give Arizona lawmakers the power to supersede the state's popular vote and decide on presidential electors.

"SCR 1014 is rather straightforward and simple, less than a page in length, proposing that "the Legislature, and no other official, shall appoint presidential electors in accordance with the United States Constitution."
Yep, if you are a voter in Arizona this bill would mean your vote does not matter, your betters in the legislature will be making that decision for you. Hope you enjoyed democracy while you had it.
Perhaps one day, Americans will realize that this is the direction in which the Republican Party is clearly moving, the weakening and perhaps even demise of real democracy. Undoubtedly this is because Republicans know (and have admitted!) that they presently couldn't win anything like as many seats in state or federal legislatures, or presidential electors, without a significant amount of change to how votes are counted, or even whether they will be allowed (to some groups, not others, or even to nobody). This could also be called "cheating," but that may be too clear for many people's tastes.
They suppose, I think, that this manipulation (cheating) is easier than trying to find policy positions that satisfy their constituents. And since that is actually what democracy is about, Republicans are working towards the end of the American democracy -- as problematic as it already is. In my personal opinion, this is wicked, but entirely real.
And if a significant plurality of Americans (especially Republicans) don't come to realize this -- well then, thos Republicans will win, American democracy will be effectively at an end, and there will never be another party in power again.
