Arizona’s high court ruled on the ballot eligibility of a controversial measure on border security.

Last week, the Arizona Supreme Court decided that “HCR 2060 will appear on the ballot.”

The decision from the court follows months of legislating and legal wrangling over the legislation to send border security proposals to voters for November’s General Election. In the decision order from the Arizona Supreme Court, it stated that it “unanimously agrees with the superior court that Appellants have not met their burden to overcome the strong presumption that HCR 2060 is constitutional.”

The “X” account for the Arizona Senate Republicans reacted to the news, posting, “BREAKING: Another FAILURE for Democrats and special interests fighting to keep the Secure the Border Act off the ballot… and GREAT NEWS for the citizens of Arizona! Moments ago, the Arizona Supreme Court unanimously ruled: “HCR 2060 WILL appear on the ballot.” Arizona voters will have the opportunity to take border security into their own hands this November.”

Arizona State Senator Janae Shamp responded, “The People of AZ will decide November 5th!”

Republican State Representative John Gillette added, “Great news. The people have a say on how we can deal with our open border invasion, despite the vetoed Bills and the lack of federal leadership.”

HCR 2060 will appear on the ballot in the upcoming fall election as Proposition 314. If passed by voters, it would give local law enforcement additional resources to better protect their communities from the harms created by the border crisis that has swelled over the past few years.
