PHOENIX (AP) — The Republicans running for Arizona’s three top statewide offices have said they wouldn’t have signed off on the 2020 presidential results if they were in office at the time of that election. They’ve also signaled they want to overhaul the rules for Arizona’s elections. Experts say if any of the GOP nominees for governor, secretary of state or attorney general were to win in November, that official could try to tilt the 2024 election toward Donald Trump if the former president runs again. It could happen through a refusal to certify an election or through changes to the election process that could make it less likely for a Democrat to win.
