Republican legislators just slapped democracy in the face (again, that is)
• AZCentral.comAs we roll into month three of what's supposed to be a four-month legislative session, come with me now to the newest political game playing out in the Arizona Legislature.
To wit: Let's slap democracy in the face. Again, that is. (See: fake electors.)

To wit: No bill can be put to vote of the full House unless 16 House Republicans first sign a sheet of paper agreeing to bring it to the floor.
Democrats need a 'majority of the majority'
Doesn't matter if your bill was heard and breezed through a House committee with unanimous, bipartisan support.
