Arizona lawmakers are proposing to give millions of state dollars to Maricopa County’s recorder for election-related purposes, as he fights for more money and control over elections. The $4.1 million allocated to Recorder Justin Heap’s office is in the fiscal 2026 budget that the Republican-led Senate passed to the House early Friday for final approval. The House and Gov. Katie Hobbs have until June 30 to sign off on a final budget.

In Arizona, where distrust in elections runs high, many people agree that a manual check of election results could help boost confidence. And state law requires counties to do such audits. Yet they aren’t always happening. That’s because state law has strict conditions on who appoints the workers, who participates, and when it happens. If those conditions can’t be met, the elections director cancels the audit.

When two Republican Cochise County supervisors delayed their certification of the county’s 2022 election results, a judge forced them to certify, pointing to language in Arizona’s election manual that says they have no choice. A state grand jury later charged the two supervisors with two felonies—conspiracy, and interference with the secretary of state’s duty to certify the election.

"Crosby’s claim against Cochise County notes he has already incurred more than $260K in attorney’s fees defending against two low-level felonies related to the supervisors' delayed canvassing of the county's Nov. 2022 election results." via @TerriJoNeff https://t.co/s4cNiQw1wA

New: Maricopa County is sending letters to longtime voters caught up in a state error who will now need to prove their citizenship. It's caused confusion in other counties.
