On March 17, the Arizona Secretary of State released a new voter registration tally, as of March 1: Republican 1,130,170; Democratic 960,701; Libertarian 26,595; Americans Elect 332; independents and others 1,134,243. The state no longer tallies the number of Greens separately, but the last time the state did a separate Green tally, in November 2013, there were 5,601 Greens. If the Green Party gets on the 2014 ballot, the state will resume its Green Party tally.
The January 1, 2014 figures were: Republican 1,131,263; Democratic 962,828; Libertarian 26,387; Americans Elect 317; independents and others, 1,123,998.
Some news stories have reported that for the first time, there are more independents than Republicans, but when one considers that the state doesn’t separate out the independents from the members of unqualified parties, especially the Greens, that is not true yet, although the trend shows it soon will be true.
Whatever their party registration, the voters of this godforsaken shithole keep electing morons to their legislature.
