The 2022 Midterms: disputes over the 2020 election cast a long shadow over Arizona’s electoral politics

Those ringing alarm bells about democracy in America could do no better than to examine Arizona in 2022, argues Eldrid Herrington. In the upcoming midterm elections, the Grand Canyon State has one of the tightest US senate races in the nation, meaning it may well determine which party will control the upper chamber of the US Congress. There are also important races in the US House of Representatives and at state level. Moreover, continual rehashes of the 2020 presidential elections and January 6th continue to echo through, and distort, the state’s politics.
