IT'S A WIN! FOREIGN MANUFACTURED VOTING MACHINES ARE BANNED IN AZ!
Bye-bye to Dominion Machines!
BETTER YET..... This will bypass the Governor and go directly to the Secretary of State’s office. If the Secretary of State and Arizona Counties do not comply the Legislature can sue.

Why would the Legislature sue? If this is what the Legislature agreed to the Secretary of State must follow or there is no way to determine the popular will.
A popular vote is not required. The Legislature may seek to know the popular will but they are not required to. They set the rules on how to determine the popular will. If the rules cannot be followed the popular will cannot be determined. There is nothing to sue about. If the popular will cannot be determined the legislature votes for their states EC votes for president.
State legislatures have absolute power over Federal elections in their states. Courts have no business even being involved
Only if the executive branch doesn't comply, they will have to file a lawsuit. To me, the legislature voting on this is a slam dunk. However, the legislature doesn't have police powers either that I am aware of. So, who enforces it? Can the legislature deputize for warrants of arrest. Or does the legislature file a lawsuit with the court to getting a ruling?
There is nothing for the legislature to enforce. The legislature determines how their state Electoral College votes are determined. As of right now all 50 states use a popular vote. There is no requirement to use a popular vote in the constitution.
Article 2 section 1 clearly states... Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.
The constitution says nothing about a popular vote.
The AZ legislature determined that certain voting machines are banned. There is nothing for a court to debate. If anyone attempts to block what the legislature wants the legislature just declares the vote null of void and the legislature votes for president.
According to the constitution the executive branch and the judicial branch in the states have nothing to do with the Federal Elections. That does not mean they won't try.
I suspect that this will be important in the 2024 election.

Agreed. The role of the legislature is clearly spelled out in the Constitution regarding the Electoral College. I also agree that it is the legislature's role to determine whether certain voting machines are banned. However, the entrenched democrats and RINOs are going to disagree and will ignore the legislative ruling. Then what? There must be a remedy. This typically involves the courts.
We have the same problem nationwide and especially in Washington DC. The criminals are in charge.
The remedy would be that the legislature bypasses the faulty popular vote and then they vote for President. The legislature picks the ec
Let the other side challenge it. Some claim that the electoral count act dictates changing the slate of electors after the election day is a violation of federal law.
Federal law MUST follow the constitution. That law falls short by restricting the state legislatures from their constitution duties.
