Arizona Proposition 140: Debate on eliminating partisan primaries

Originally posted by Arizona PBS on October 7

Arizona Proposition 140 would eliminate partisan primaries and replace them with an electoral system where individuals may vote for the candidate of their choice regardless of the party affiliation of the voter or the candidate. Also, candidates gathering signatures to qualify for the ballots can also gather from any qualified voters, regardless of political affiliations, and the signature requirements will be the same for all candidates. Former Arizona Attorney General and former Phoenix Mayor Terry Goddard joined “Arizona Horizon” to debate the proposition in support of it with former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Andy Gould joining in opposition.
