Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs on Feb. 18 vetoed a bill aimed at speeding up ballot counting in the state, citing concerns that it would make voting more difficult.

House Bill 2703, introduced by Republican state Rep. Laurin Hendrix, would have changed Arizona election laws by eliminating emergency voting centers and setting a new deadline for voters to drop off early ballots.
