Cochise County is a heavily GOP county. State statute says the county body “shall meet & canvass” its results. But state statute also says AZ must certify its statewide results even w/o a county if a county fails to certify. This would flip #AZ06 U.S. House seat to Dems.

Gotta be her way of being allowed to “officially” take a position in the Primary. Sad to see the AZGOP continue with this boorish behavior instead of allowing the voters to make the decision for themselves organically. Can’t say I’m surprised however which is even more sad.

Let’s be clear about what this tweet means. School Choice in AZ really blossomed in the 1990s and times prior in AZ. @PimaDems want to end school choice options like Open Enrollment within a school district, charter schools, abolish private schools, eliminate home schooling.
