re: Many Republicans just didn’t vote for the Republican candidates in Arizona

It’s not going blue, it’s just that the Republicans are voting for democrats or not voting for republicans. Consequently, democrats are getting elected.

So, what would you call that exactly?

Interesting voter registration changes over time -

1998 AZ voter registration
Republican - 1,013,533 (45%)
Democrat - 912,613 (40%)
Other - 338,145 (15%)

2022 AZ voter registration
Republican - 1,436, 852 (35%)
Democrat - 1,270,544 (31%)
Other - 1,436,533 (35%)

The ratio of Republicans to Democrats has actually gone up since 1998, but the big movement has been the number of independent voters. They now number the same as Republicans.
