Why we checked itA specific claim that an opponent voted to cut the election department's budget by 50% — a concrete, verifiable legislative action with a specific figure that, if false, would be a significant mischaracterization.
What we foundKolodin did vote for the Arizona budget that reduced the SOS office's general fund, but the actual reduction was approximately 28% (from ~$19.6M to ~$14.1M), not fifty percent, and the largest reduction reflected the scheduled removal of one-time election funding tied to the 2024 election cycle rather than a deliberate mid-cycle cut to election operations.
