On a not-horrormirthy note, AZ's prop 120 is hilarious.

Quote
Proposition 120 would amend the Arizona Constitution to state that Arizona “declares its sovereign and exclusive authority and jurisdiction over the air, water, public lands, minerals, wildlife and other natural resources within its boundaries.”  Tribal lands and military installations are the only lands excluded.  In effect, the Constitutional amendment would set in motion a demand by the state that all federal lands – National Parks, forests, wildlife refuges, monuments, wilderness areas, recreation areas, historic lands, and more – are turned over to state or private ownership.  The proposition would affect roughly 25 million acres of federal land.
There's already precedent against this sort of thing, as the Supreme Court ruled on a somewhat similar case already.

Also, looking at the headlines associated with this, apparently the rest of the country only really wants the Grand Canyon. AZ can have the rest, I guess?

It's very important for our state to have sovereignty over these lands, because it's so much easier to cut off all the funding for maintaining them that way. You see, in Arizona we believe that a balanced budget is a happy budget. That's why we have stopped all new registration for KidCare/CHiP, slashed unemployment benefits, and tossed a few hundred thousand people out of the healthcare system. But it's not enough. There are still people benefiting from government services in this state, and that must stop immediately.

Wait, WTF?  Sanity, from Arizona?

QuoteSection 31. No law shall be enacted in this state limiting the amount of damages to be recovered for causing the death or injury of any person, EXCEPT THAT A CRIME VICTIM IS NOT SUBJECT TO A CLAIM FOR DAMAGES BY A PERSON WHO IS HARMED WHILE THE PERSON IS ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE IN, ENGAGING IN OR FLEEING AFTER HAVING ENGAGED IN OR ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE IN CONDUCT THAT IS CLASSIFIED AS A FELONY OFFENSE.

...

6. Recovery of damages for injuries

It also outlaws "tort reform".

How very fucking interesting.  My state is very confused, I think.

AZ healthcare is so hopelessly fucked. Three doctors once told my dad he had the best case they'd ever seen for malpractice, and then promptly assured him it would never go to court, because doctors in AZ will immediately blacklist and stop sending any referrals to any doctor who acts as a witness in a malpractice case.

Hold up, they THREW OUT 18% of provisional ballots??? On what grounds?

Apparently...

QuoteIn 2008, the ACLU named Pima County #1 in the country for voter suppression when F. Ann Rodreguez's department threw out 18% of the provisional ballots-- rather than spend the estimated 45 minutes per ballot to verify addresses.

Don't be surprised, it's only slapstick.
