Arizona Republicans are proposing a change to how ballot initiatives work, requiring petitioners to gather signatures from each of the state’s 30 legislative districts. Currently, petitioners need only gather a total number statewide. This change would ensure every part of Arizona has a voice in direct democracy, not just populous areas like Maricopa County. We support this proposal because it balances the principles of direct and representative democracy. Read MoreOur View: GOP ballot initiative plan ensures fair play for rural Arizona voters

Perhaps that was the motivation for their cry. Read MoreOP-ED | The county that cried “deficit”
