There's good news and bad news

[link removed]
Hi John,

I have been telling you recently about the different propositions on November's ballot- the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The Dems couldn't get laws passed to protect their election fraud. So they are trying to do so by means of propositions.

One of the worst is Prop 140. It's the "Adrian Fontes gets all the power" proposition.

Here's what AZ Free says about it:

A new report concluded that Proposition 140 — which seeks to establish ranked-choice voting and replace Arizona’s partisan primaries with open primaries — would empower the secretary of state more than voters in elections.

The Reason Foundation issued the report last week by its director of criminal justice policy, Vittorio Nastasi, several days after early voting began. (Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act voters (UOCAVA) were mailed their ballots near the end of September).

“Prop. 140 grants far too much power to the legislature or secretary of state by allowing them to determine how many candidates can compete in general elections,” said the organization. “The impact of Prop. 140 is, therefore, uncertain and could generate substantial conflict without any clear benefit.”

Arizona’s current primary elections restrict voters to voting within the primary election of their registered party; unaffiliated voters may change their registration leading up to the primaries in order to cast a ballot for their preferred primary election.

Ranked-choice voting would do away with majority vote winners in general elections with more than two candidates in most races (and more than four candidates in Arizona House races). Instead, victors would be determined by voter rankings of preferred candidates. Without any majority winner, the ranking system determines the winner(s) by eliminating the lowest vote-getter and redistributing those votes to the other candidates based on those voters’ rankings.

The report noted that Prop 140 doesn’t specify the number of candidates that would move on to the general election from the proposed open primaries, allowing either lawmakers to decide by November 1 (or the secretary of state thereafter) how many candidates move on to the general election.

The Reason Foundation’s report assessed that open primaries would violate the First Amendment.

“Political parties are fundamentally private organizations with the right to set their own rules for nominating candidates,” said the organization. “To infringe on that right is to violate the freedom of association. No matter how large or powerful the two major parties may be, the government has no role in determining the process for their primary elections.”

That's the bad news.

The good news? My drive to jack up conservative turnout in my district to help defeat that proposition and help pass the Secure The Border Act is working! Republican turnout in my district is good- THANKS TO YOU!

Here's what is happening in one of my counties, Gila!

My drive to turn out the Republicans is working. But we need more.

Maricopa and other counties are not seeing as good a turnout for Republicans. That means that if we don't keep going, horrible ideas like Prop 140 may PASS. It may even mean Donald Trump loses Arizona.

It is critically important. That's why I need to get EVERY Republican in my district to vote.

I am also getting hit by well-funded lying attack ads, and I need to counter them. I need to win my race. ([link removed])

To win, I had a goal of $100,000 raised this month, but I am still short about $49,000. ([link removed]) We CANNOT lose this chance in AZ or the Left will change the election law! Will you help me save Arizona? ([link removed])

PS: We're in a critical situation. Achieving our target of $100,000 is of paramount importance for GOP turnout. Alarmingly, we're still lagging behind by a daunting $49,000. Your assistance ([link removed]) in this crucial moment is deeply appreciated!
