A lot of patriotic Arizonans are discouraged by the direction of the GOP.

 

I understand your frustration. But we can’t put Arizona First by walking away from the fight.

 

We need to fix things from the inside. If you’ve gone Independent, please reconsider.

Most Arizona Voters Now Registered Independent, Unable to Vote in Presidential Preference Election

 

More Arizona voters have continued to change their party affiliation to independent, making it the state’s largest voting bloc. This means more than 1.4 million voters will be unable to cast a ballot in the state’s 2024 presidential primary contests.

 

The Arizona Secretary of State released new data this month dating from July 2023, revealing that 1,450,697 Arizonans, or 34.55 percent of the state’s voters, are now registered independent.

 

In Arizona, independent voters may request a ballot for most primary elections, but are specifically forbidden from voting in the government-run Presidential Preference Election (PPE) that determines presidential primary winners in the state. Arizona independent voters are those who either specifically selected independent or did not select a party when registering to vote.

 

Scott Presler, a conservative activist and the founder of Early Vote Action, told The Arizona Sun Times he is concerned the growth of independent voters will cause confusion and distrust come 2024, when many discover they are unable to vote for a presidential candidate in the state’s closed primaries.

 

“If you want to vote for Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis, you must be registered as a Republican,” Presler told The Sun Times. “My concern is a lot of people who already don’t have trust in the system are going to show up as an independent voter on Election Day, only to find out they are unable to participate in the process because they are registered as an independent.”

 

The activist previously expressed his concerns on X, formerly Twitter, in August. “We need to inform as many Arizonans as possible, or thousands will not be able to vote in the PPE,” wrote Presler, including text from the Arizona Secretary of State website.
