Shifting demographics in Arizona
Women have been credited with helping Democrats this year, but the story in Arizona has as much to do with the shift toward blue in places that were shaded purple.
Democrats picked up statehouse seats in suburban areas where such a switch would have been nearly impossible four or perhaps even two years ago, and they look set to gain other seats in state government. They now have a 5-4 advantage in the congressional delegation, furthering the representation of younger, more educated and in many cases tech-employed voters who do not support President Trump’s politics.
“Right now, there are 181,000 voters who voted for Democrat Kyrsten Sinema for United States Senate and Republican Doug Ducey for governor,” said Paul Bentz, a polling expert in the state. “Ultimately, Sinema’s ability to appeal to female, unaffiliated and independent voters who surged at the election put her over the top.”
