A group of political independents is making a last-ditch effort to give them a voice in Arizona’s presidential preference primary.
Cathy Stewart, national vice president of Independentvoting.org, said Monday that state lawmakers are half right in objecting to the fact that all Arizonans pay for the quadrennial event even though more than a third of those registered to vote cannot participate.
The state House voted 37-22 earlier this month to wipe out the primary after this year’s March 22 event. That will leave it up to each party to decide how it wants to choose delegates to the national convention.
