Gov. Jan Brewer hinted Friday she might veto legislation designed to give the Arizona secretary of state the final say of who gets to run for president here.

Brewer told Capitol Media Services she is still reviewing the measure given final approval late Thursday, which spells out what documents have to be presented by political parties to get their candidate on the ballot. The legislation requires the secretary of state, as chief elections officer, to deny ballot status to those who do not submit the required paperwork.

Backers, led by Rep. Carl Seel, R-Phoenix, say they are just trying to protect the integrity of the electoral process. But Brewer, who was secretary of state for six years before becoming governor, said the wishes of the state legislators who support the measure may be irrelevant.

“I think my big concern probably, just shooting a little bit from the hip, is the fact that I don’t know if we regulate federal elections,’’ she said.

As I recall the law allowed things like old census records. Big whoop. No loop holes there....every 10 years.....

Why bother vetoing something like that?

The legislature could still overturn the veto though.
