Arizona may very well go blue in Nov. Polls show Arizona may vote to elect a Democrat for pres. BY RANDALL ECK @reck999
Bill Clinton is the only democratic presidential candidate to turn Arizona blue in the past 64 years. Hillary Clinton, according to some experts, may become the second. Arizona was a conservative, southern Democratic state before Barry Goldwater’s unsuccessful presidential campaign in 1964, according to Barbara Norrander, a professor at the School of Government and Public Policy. Goldwater is responsible for building up the Republican party’s dominance that has lasted ever
since, according to Norrander. Arizona Democrats enjoyed a period of populist support under two-term governor Janet Napolitano, said Dino Kadich, secretary general of UA’s Model UN and a geography sophomore, but they have suffered in the state since. For the first time since her husband won the state during his reelection campaign, Hillary Clinton and the Democrats have a chance to turn Arizona blue, and Kadich believes they will. Clinton has a two percentage point lead over Donald Trump with 11 percent of likely voters supporting a third party candidate, according to the most recent Arizona poll from Oct. 6, sponsored by Emerson College. The Clinton campaign designated Arizona a competitive state and subsiquently sent a team of staffers

to Arizona to strengthen her ground campaign, according to Kadich. The campaign also vowed to spend thousands of dollars on advertising. Arizonans may have already seen her “Role Models” ad that began airing around the nation. It shows children watching some of Trump’s incendiary comments. Kadich said Trump, who may have to defend Arizona, plans on flooding the airwaves before the election, which historically inspires voter turnout. Many factors put Arizona’s traditionally conservative voting record in to question this presidential election, Norrander said. One Arizona, an organization that tracks and encourages Latino voting, predicts over one million Latinos will be eligible to vote and will make up one-fifth of the voters this election, with the numbers

expecting to climb. An increased Latino turnout would change the composition of the electorate and shift it in favor of the Democrats, according to Norrander. Kadich said Democrats have been attempting to increase historically low Latino turnout in the state with well-organized voter registration campaigns. One Arizona, a “nonpartisan coalition led by 14 grassroots organizations supports family values that are truly inclusive of all people, regardless of race, economic status, gender, reproductive choices, or sexual preference,” according to the organization’s website, reported a five-fold increase in Latino turnout in Phoenix’s most recent mayoral election from 2011.
