A bill that would have prevented elections from being canvassed if enough voters claimed to be disenfranchised failed to pass the state Senate.
It would have required a certain number of voters to sign affidavits claiming they either waited more than 90 minutes in line to cast a ballot or witnessed election laws be broken.
That number is 1,000 people in counties with a million people or more. Smaller counties would only require 250.
The bill's language would also require a judge to appoint a special master to examine those affidavits.
If the affidavits are confirmed, the judge would have to set up procedures for a new election within 60 days.
Bill sponsor Republican Sen. Jake Hoffman requested the bill to be reconsidered.
