Arizona Recount Confirms that Measure to Move Petition Deadline for Initiatives from July to May did not Pass

On December 20, the Arizona Secretary of State announced that the statewide recount for Proposition 112 shows the same result as the original count.  The measure was defeated under both counts.  The first count showed it losing by 128 votes, and the recount showed it losing by 194 votes.

Proposition 112 would have changed the petition deadline for initiative petitions from early July of the election year, to early May.  The deadline is written into the state Constitution, so it can only be changed with a popular vote.  See this earlier coverage of this story.  See this story about the recount results.
