What is the precedent? Do SOS typically step down when being challenged in a election? Not so much. Did Trump step down when challenged by Biden? Y'all getting all Huffity Puffity without substance or facts.
Secretaries of State are in chief election officials, right? Was Trump? She is running for the governorship and is known for her cheating. Does that not smack as unethical?
Ok, what Secretaries of State in the past 50 years have stepped aside in any challenged election across the US? Do some digging rather than running your mouth. The answer is zero, whether Dem or Rep. Next.
Times are different, however, as they have been caught protecting fraud quite a few times now.
While you're right that she wouldn't have to step down from just running against someone else, her conflict of interest became apparent immediately when she proved that she couldn't do her job in a non partisan way.
Didn't you know? Talking about conflicts of interest is a conspiracy theory. Everyone knows conspiracy theories are always wrong, thus noting conflicts of interest is not only offensive, but basically illegal, worthy of substantial public persecution, and contributing to the bad economy, gas prices, SADS, and climate change.
AZ Legislature changed the law in 2013 to allow politicians to stay in their current office and run for another office if they are in the final year of their term. It is textbook conflict of interest here.
Title 38, Article 6, Section 296 of the Arizona Revised Statutes states:
A. Except during the final year of the term being served, no incumbent of a salaried elective office, whether holding by election or appointment, may offer himself for nomination or election to any salaried local, state or federal office.
B. An incumbent of a salaried elected office shall be deemed to have offered himself for nomination or election to a salaried local, state or federal office on the filing of a nomination paper pursuant to section 16-311, subsection A. An incumbent of a salaried elected office is not deemed to have offered himself for nomination or election to an office by making a formal declaration of candidacy for the office.
Thank you for the information. What happened before 2013 that precipitated such a change of the law?
According to the note in your link it was done under the guise of voter transparency. But all that new law has accomplished thus far is just make it more difficult for elections to be ran with integrity.
Who exactly do you think is going to force her to do so? There is no way in HELL she is going to do so voluntarily. The only way she MIGHT play this legit is if there are so many eyes on her that she feels intimidated to do the legal thing. Criminals have been gaming this system for so long I don't believe they even know how to call a fair election. I guess we will see what happens.
This is a HUGE conflict of interest for Katie Hobbs
Yup!!

Are they all as crooked as she is?!
Aren't they all?
Not even close she has her hand in the cookie jar

It's pretty much a crime against humanity.
REEEEEEEEEE
https://youtu.be/iezo-H2M7sc TGP reporter trolls Hobbs and she won't turn around for the camera.. (memory holed)
Hobbs is a nickname for the devil.
She needs to wash her hands on ANYTHING to do with the election imo.
When it comes to the 2020 election, her hands are covered in filth.
Running for governor hoping not to be arrested.
To everyone asking - if any of you are in Arizona you need to start a campaign NOW to get Hobbs to step down. Time is of the essence!

Wtf this is absolutely unacceptable (says in best Karen voice)
How the fuck
All elected officials should have to give up their positions before being allowed to campaign for something else.
