Arizona Citizens Sue Pima County to Enforce Existing Election Laws

• The Intercept
Citizens in Arizona concerned about Pima County voting procedures are part of a lawsuit compelling the county to follow state voting laws before the upcoming general election. A diverse group of plaintiffs registered as Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, Greens and Independents are suing Pima County's Board of Supervisors to incorporate tasks specified by Arizona State Law 16-615. The plaintiffs' stated mission is to restore public oversight to the elections process. Like the rest of the nation, Arizonans share a growing concern that election computers make elections easy to cheat and impossible to challenge. Laws in place but not currently followed by Pima County involve having poll workers include in every Official Return Envelope a copy of the signed “tally lists” or results tape. Although this practice has been ignored or abandoned over time, the procedure is a valuable step in providing a useful auditing tool in the event of a recount or contested election.

I think there needs to be a law passed that says we have to obey the laws of the land and then another law to enforce this law.
