PHOENIX, ARIZONA – Today, the Arizona Free Enterprise Club released the results of a poll conducted by Data Orbital on Proposition 140, which would enact a California-style election scheme of ranked-choice voting and jungle primaries. The survey showed that the ballot measure is receiving far less than the fifty percent of the vote required for passage in the upcoming November Election.
“This latest poll demonstrates that Arizonans do not appreciate these special interests attempting to commandeer our elections for their radical agenda,” said Scot Mussi, President of the Arizona Free Enterprise Club. “Arizona voters are diligently doing their research on Prop 140, and they are being turned off by its dangerous effects on our state’s elections and future. We are hopeful this measure will go down in flames on Election Night next week, sending a message to these out-of-state billionaires and California liberals that Arizonans want free, fair, and transparent elections – not a system run by a partisan election official and his band of unelected bureaucrats.”
According to the Data Orbital poll results, Proposition 140 is deep under water with only 42.2% of respondents in support of the measure – well under the 50% threshold necessary for passage. Of the respondents who have already voted, support for Prop 140 was only at 38.4%.

Last week, Highground, Inc., the firm behind much of the state operations to promote Proposition 140, released the results of a poll for the races of President of the United States and U.S. Senate. Curiously, Highground did not include any results for Proposition 140, which it surely surveyed due to its interest in the ballot measure.
If passed by voters, The Make Elections (Un)Fair Act would do the following for future Arizona elections:
-
- Allows one politician, the Arizona Secretary of State, to decide how many candidates qualify for the general election ballot for every single contest, including his or her own race.
- Would result in some races where candidates from only one political party appear on the general election ballot.
- Would force voters to navigate two completely different voting systems on the same ballot, with some races requiring voters to rank candidates and others that do not.
- Will increase tabulation errors, create longer lines at the polls, and significantly delay election results.
