Gathered at a table in the state Capitol a little less than two years ago, two Republicans and a Democrat took part in a ceremony prescribed by state law.
PHOENIX — Gathered at a table in the state Capitol a little less than two years ago, two Republicans and a Democrat took part in a ceremony prescribed by state law that made official Joe Biden's 10,500-vote victory in Arizona's 2020 presidential contest.
“When you have stolen, corrupt elections, you have serious consequences, even deadly consequences,” Lake said in June while she was competing in the GOP primary. “And unfortunately, we had a stolen election, and we actually have an illegitimate president sitting in the White House.” Election experts say any of the three, if elected, could try to tilt the 2024 election toward Trump if he runs again for president. That could happen through a refusal to certify an election he loses or long before that through pre-emptive changes to the election process.
Finchem said in a text message that he would certify the election"as long as all lawful votes are counted and all votes cast are under the law." He did not respond to follow-up questions about who decides if the votes were lawful or whether he would accept results of court proceedings.The governor, secretary of state and attorney general in Arizona wield enormous power over election decisions big and small.
Finchem, who was outside the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but says he did not join rioters who attacked the building that day, has vowed to rewrite those rules. He’s said little about what he would change. And that’s just the start if someone really wants to seize the reins of election rules and make small but substantive changes.
As secretary of state, Finchem also would have unilateral authority to certify — or not — election equipment. He told CBS News that vote tabulating machines should be banned unless the manufacturer shares the source code.

5 Ways to Figure Out If a Job Is Right for YouJust as employers evaluate you, you should also be evaluating employers. It’s all about taking the time to know what the role will entail and how the organization will (or won’t) align with your values, potential, and future goals. Here are five things you can do: Validate the job description: Use platforms like LinkedIn or the company’s website to start your research. View the profiles of people who might be working in similar roles at the organization. Sometimes, JDs can include vague phrasing or titles like “senior” that may not be an accurate representation of the role, so ensure that you ask the right questions during an interview. Pay attention to the company culture. Pay attention to how they communicate with you from day one. This includes email communications, phone calls, as well as interview discussions. Discuss salary and benefits: Ask the HR person facilitating the process about how compensation and benefits are determined. If you’re directly in touch with the hiring manager, bring it up during the first interview. Ensure the job meets the career goals. Envision where you see yourself at least two years from now and share your goals with the hiring manager during the interview. This can help you determine if the organization can deliver on your expectations. Conduct background checks. If joining a large organization or well-known brand, this information may be easier to gather. If it’s a business or a start-up, research the funding and investment.
