While the nation just celebrated Independence Day it may be an “Independents Year” for registered voters in Arizona. MORE ⬇️
We are in a new club, a small grouping of states where independents and those not registered to a recognized political party are the largest bloc of potential voters.
Throughout Arizona’s entire history as a state, Democrats were the leading party for over 60 years. Republicans took over during the 1984 election cycle, but independents were a growing bloc even then. They did manage to lead the state in registrations between May 2014 and May 2016 when Republicans took back the lead.Since the last election, 40,000 Valley residents registered as Independent. During that time Republicans added 12,000 and Democrats 2,500.
