Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer released the latest voter registration numbersearlier this month, and it highlighted an important trend.
Voters who considered themselves independent or just hadn’t selected a party now lead in registration by the narrowest of margins — fewer than 100 people. But that may be an indicator that a growing number of people in the county — and the state of Arizona — are truly less associated with the Democratic and Republican parties.
Tucson attorney Ted Hinderaker, among others, is looking to ride that wave and change the state’s primary system as a leader of the new Save Democracy, Inc. The Show spoke with Hinderaker about how much of the Save Democracy pitch has to do with primaries.
