        They are and she’s a Dem so she will. Not sure on the lay of the land if it came to an override. Also AZ voters can, with enough signatures, get an item on the ballot bypassing the legislature. So even if it doesn’t go through there it could still end up on a ballot. But at least then in total we are skewing more blue than red.

        All in all, very unlikely to see this happen.

          If this initiative ended up on the ballot, no way would AZ voters vote for something that would kill their future ability to vote for a president.

          AZ State legislature leans red, but not by nearly enough to overdrive their Dem governor’s vetoes.
