Republican extremist
and serial homophobe
Shawnna Bolick was a
member of the
Arizona House of
Representatives,
representing
District 20. She
assumed office on
January 14, 2019.
She left office on
January 9, 2023.
Bolick ran for
election for Arizona
Secretary of State.
She lost in the
Republican primary
on August 2, 2022.
Bolick was an
unsuccessful 2014
Republican candidate
for District 28 of
the Arizona House of
Representatives.
Bolick also ran
unsuccessfully for
the District 11 seat
as a Republican in
2010
Her husband Clint
Bolick is an Arizona
Supreme Court
Justice. After Joe
Biden won Arizona in
the 2020
presidential
election and
President Donald
Trump refused to
concede and made
claims of fraud,
Bolick urged
Congress to throw
out the presidential
election results
from Arizona and
give the state's
electoral college
votes to Donald
Trump. She also
introduced
legislation in
January 2021 to
rewrite the election
laws in Arizona to
give the state
legislature the
power to reject the
election results "at
any time before the
presidential
inauguration" (i.e.,
even after the
results were
certified by the
Secretary of State
and by the governor
and the electoral
votes counted by
Congress). At the
time, the
legislature was
controlled by the
Republican Party.
The bill is
inconsistent with
the state
constitution.
Bolick's legislation
would also prevent
judges from throwing
out baseless court
cases without
evidence; the cases
would instead have
to be adjudicated by
a jury. The bill,
Arizona House Bill
2720, died in
committee.

Fanatical
Republican Extremist
Of
The Day: Shawna Bolick |
"Arizona State Senator
Shawna Bolick, who first was elected
to the Arizona House of Representatives back
in 2018, lost in her attempt to get elected
to be Arizona’s Secretary of State in 2022.
Bolick wasn’t just spreading
Donald Trump’s “Big Lie” that the 2020
election was stolen from him, but in 2021,
actually submitted legislation to change the
law so the Arizona state legislature could
ignore the vote count and will of the voting
public and just pick “the winner” in 2024.
That hasn’t been the end of her claims of
“election fraud”, as after she lost in the
2022 election, she started posting
conspiracy theories about election fraud for
the second time in two years, this time that
she and GOP gubernatorial candidate had been
robbed of wins, and that new Democratic Gov.
Katie Hobbs was “the occupant” of Arizona’s
Governor’s mansion. She formerly called for
the Arizona board of Supervisors to be
jailed for not telling her she and her
fellow Republicans won with fewer votes. In
her time in office as a legislator, she’s
been pushing forth the dumbest conservative
pablum to the fore" |

There Are Clear Choices For Arizona
Secretary Of State. Here's A Guide To Help
You Choose |
"Two of the four
Republicans – state Reps.
Mark Finchem and
Shawnna Bolick – said had they been the
secretary of state in 2020,
they would not have certified the election
showing a narrow Joe Biden victory over
Donald Trump. Even if the law calls for it.
The two were among a group of GOP lawmakers
who signed on to asking that an alternate
slate of electors for Trump be accepted
instead, or for all the electoral votes to
be nullified until an audit could be done." |

Shawnna Bolick,
Author Of Bill To
Reject Voters’
Presidential Choice,
Running To Be Top
Elections Official |
"Bolick made
headlines in Arizona
and across the
country early in the
2020 legislative
session for her
sponsorship of a
wide-ranging
elections bill whose
most notable feature
was the power it
would have granted
lawmakers the power
to reject voters’
choices in
presidential races.
Bolick was also one
of 20 Republican
legislators who
signed a resolution
in December calling
on Congress to
either accept
Arizona’s 11 GOP
electors for Trump
or to nullify the
state’s electoral
votes for Biden" |

Lawmakers Resort To Tricks, Bullying To Undo Prop 208 |
"Amid last month’s
lighting-rod
controversies around
vaccines, the
border, and election
recounts, an
under-reported and
dangerous abuse of
power was taking
place at the Arizona
Capitol. [...] We
were front row
witnesses to this
blatant display of
muzzling public
debate and
attempting to
subvert a voter
approved ballot
initiative." |

Is Rep. Shawnna
Bolick An
Insurrectionist? |
"Bolick was the
sponsor of a bill
that would have
given the state
legislature the
authority over the
selection of
presidential
electors and to
revoke the elector’s
certification any
time before the
Presidential
inauguration—essentially
giving the state
lawmaker the power
to override election
results." |
