Within one week after the U.S. Capitol insurrection, more than 3,900 Maricopa and Pima County Republican voters switched parties.
From Jan. 6 to Jan. 12, Maricopa County saw more than 3,300 voters switch out of the Republican designation on their voter registrations. Pima County had 642 do the same thing.
Collectively, most joined “Party Not Designated,” but 477 became Democrat, 439 became Independent and 229 became Libertarian.
Separately, Pinal County saw 557 Republicans leave the party designation from Jan. 6 to Jan. 21; it’s unclear where those voters switched to.
Lorna Romero is the owner of Elevate Strategies, a political and strategic communications firm. She says it’s shocking that so many would switch in one week but it’s also not shocking given the state’s Republican leadership’s refusal to accept the election.

The people of Tucson will not stand for violence and lawlessness, Shelley Kais said in a statement. âWe offer condolences to the family o
