In a shocking demonstration of bipartisan unity and dispatch, an emergency bill radically altering party precinct representation was filed, passed both GOP-controlled legislative chambers and was signed by Republican Governor Douglas A. Ducey Jr., all on Thursday.
The new law is a direct assault on the Precinct Strategy, which encourages conservative voters to get involved in their local Republican Party by becoming precinct committeemen, said Daniel Schultz, author of the 2017 book “How to Get Into the Real Ball Game of Politics Where You Live to Help President Donald J. Trump Make America Great Again” and the creator of the strategy.
The bill, sponsored by House Speaker Russell “Rusty” Bower (R.-25th District), House Bill 2839, eliminates the ratio of the precinct committeemen from one for every 125 voters registered in a party to one precinct committeeman for every precinct regardless of the number of voters registered in a party, Schultz said.
The bill also changed the precinct committeeman position from an elected position to one appointed by the party’s county chairman, said the former Army military intelligence officer, who finished his service with the rank of major.
In the state House, the bill passed with 58 voting in favor, none opposed, and two not voting. In the state Senate, the bill passed with 27 votes in favor, none opposed, and three not voting.

Is it any wonder why McConnell wanted Ducey to be the Republican nominee for US Senate. A nice go-along oligarchy colleague. Just like McCain and McSally.
They are all criminals stealing from the people, bet on it. They don’t want their corruption exposed.
There’s a reason Fox News called Arizona early for Brandon.

Apprently ‘democracy’ is too important to be left in the hands of the voters.
Outsider Trump proved it is a uniparty. The energy and regulatory policy sameness between R and D can be contrasted with Trump policy.

How can a government pass laws that control the structure and governance of a political party?
It seems this ought to be a party issue rather than state law.
I don’t know why no one is challenging Rusty Bowers. He didn’t say anything after 2020.
He announced he wants to run for state senate. He will lose.
Arizona needs a conservative third party.
It would be better to nuke the Republican party of Arizona and let the Democrats have it, than to allow the RINOs to remain in power.
Look at Mitt Romney, John McCain, et al.
But a solidly conservative 3rd party just might be able to get a foothold there if voters have a real choice.
Good point.
This is why when its all said and done the military is the only way forward. The legislators won’t do it and the courts won’t do it.
The main purpose of the GOP since 1989 has been to block conservatives from stopping the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
This is pretty much how it is done in Michigan as well. The only way to get rid of this is to overwhelm the system. The Vice chair of the party is in cahoots with the Billionaire chairman. She has her husband running for Speaker of the House.....they are reportedly handing out Trump endorsements for assurances of a vote for Matt for Speaker. So what happens is the newbies come in and find they dont have the stomach to fight the machine and they are in for a couple of months and get so disgusted with the process that they drop out and leave.
Throwing all of the incumbents out is a very good start. There needs to be some serious work done to campaign finance laws....the ultra rich and PAC groups drown out the voice of the people. Hence, we have an 18% approval rating for congress and Biden in office as a puppet with unknown foreign actors pulling on Americas strings. Who really fights for the people in Congress?
Some party issues are governed by state (or sometimes federal) law because the parties have the special privilege of putting candidates on the ballot. Usually, independents have to petition.
The classic case is the “white primary.” The Supreme Court held that it was unconstitutional for a political party to exclude blacks from its primary.
Of course, the purpose of that decision was to make the party process more small-d democratic. The RINOs in Arizona are going in exactly the opposite direction.
For this betrayal, the people of Arizona should be calling for these corrupt politicians to resign from their offices immediately.
AZ, 1 of 5 states that brought us the Great Steal of 2020.
