2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary
The 2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary took place on Tuesday, March 17, 2020, as one of three contests  on the same day in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries for the 2020 United States presidential election. The closed primary allocated 67 pledged delegates towards the 2020 Democratic National Convention, distributed in proportion to the results of the primary, statewide and within each congressional district. The state was also given an additional 13 unpledged delegates (superdelegates), whose votes at the convention were not bound to the result of the primary.


2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary
Three major candidates ran in the primary, including former Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont, and representative Tulsi Gabbard from Hawaii's 2nd district. Six other candidates who withdrew prior to the contest were also on the ballot, along with three minor candidates. Biden won the primary, with 43.7% of the vote and 38 delegates, with Sanders in second place with 32.7% of the vote and 29 delegates. In a distant third was Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, with 5.8% of the vote; no other candidates won over 5% of the vote. Biden won 13 of 15 counties, with the exception of Coconino and Yuma, and 7 of 9 congressional districts.


2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary
Key to Biden's victory were white voters, whom he won 51-32 per CNN exit polls, and suburban voters, who he won 53-32; Arizona's suburban voters – in particular, those in Maricopa County, which holds Phoenix and 61.6% of the population – have long been reliantly Republican voters since the 1950s, but had been swiftly moving to the left as the state's minority population has grown and the Republican Party has moved to the right, making Arizona a hotly contested state in the 2020 election.


2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary
Biden carried Maricopa County by over 33,000 votes and Pima County, the second largest county and home to Tucson, by almost 18,000 votes. In a stark contrast from 2016, Sanders' strength was reliant primarily on non-white and Hispanic voters, whom Biden won by only 47-45 and 45-44, respectively. The 3rd and 7th congressional districts, both of which Sanders won, are majority Hispanic, as was Yuma County, which Sanders managed to flip. Sanders held onto Coconino County, home to Flagstaff.


2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary
Biden would ultimately win the state of Arizona in the general election by 10,457 votes, making him the first Democrat to win it since Bill Clinton in 1996 and only the second since Harry Truman did so in 1948.


2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
Arizona was one of three states holding primaries on March 17, 2020, the others being Florida and Illinois.


2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
Voters had to have been registered as Democrats by February 18 to be eligible for voting in the primary. Arizona mailed ballots to voters on the permanent early voting list. Ballots must have been received by 7:00 p.m. on March 17, 2020. In addition, some Arizona counties offered early voting sites, where any voter may walk in and vote in person, Monday to Friday, from February 19 through March 13, 2020.


2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
Voting took place from 6:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m MST. In the closed primary, candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable for delegates The 67 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention were allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary. Of the 67 pledged delegates, between 3 and 6 are allocated to each of the state's 9 congressional districts and another 9 are allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 14 at-large pledged delegates. These delegate totals do not account for pledged delegate bonuses or penalties from timing or clustering.


2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
District caucuses were held on Saturday, April 18, 2020, to designate national convention district delegates. The state convention and state committee meeting were subsequently held on Saturday, May 16, 2020, to vote on the 14 pledged at-large and 9 PLEO delegates to send to the Democratic National Convention. The 67 pledged delegates Arizona sent to the national convention were joined by 13 unpledged PLEO delegates (7 members of the Democratic National Committee, Senator Kyrsten Sinema, and representatives Tom O'Halleran, Ann Kirkpatrick, Raúl Grijalva, Ruben Gallego, and Greg Stanton).


2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary, Analysis
Arizona was a hotly contested state throughout both the primary and general election seasons due to its rapidly diversifying electorate. A high concentration of Hispanic and Latino voters as well as an intense swing to the left in suburban areas strengthened Democratic support while drawing new divides in the Democratic Party. In 2016, Hillary Clinton defeated Bernie Sanders by a 14.9% margin; despite Sanders being trailing Biden significantly nationwide, he actually improved on his performance in Arizona in 2020, losing it by an 11.0% margin.


2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary, Analysis
This improvement was mostly attributable to improvements among Hispanic and Latino voters: Sanders performed well among that demographic throughout the primary as opposed to 2016, when Clinton handily carried regions with high densities of Hispanic voters. Per CNN exit polls, Biden won Hispanic voters 45-44 compared to white voters, who he won 51-32.


2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary, Analysis
Sanders won Yuma County, where 64.6% of the population are Hispanic or Latino, as well as Arizona's 3rd and 7th congressional districts; the former, home to Tucson, Yuma, and most of the southern border, is 65.1% Hispanic, while the latter, composing much of inner Phoenix, is 64.0% Hispanic. Nonetheless, Biden's performance represented a significant improvement among voters of these demographics from earlier in the primary, which was compounded by a strong performance in the state's suburbs.


2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary, Analysis
He won Maricopa County, which holds Phoenix and 61.6% of the population, by 33,328 votes, largely due to the Phoenix suburbs, which have been reliably Republican since the 1950s but have recently shifted to the left. He also won Pima County, the second largest county and home to Tucson, by 17,668 votes.


2020 Arizona Democratic presidential primary, Analysis
The results of the primary would be reflected in the general election: Biden would end up winning Arizona by 10,457 votes, the first Democrat to do so since Bill Clinton in 1996 and only the second since Harry S. Truman in 1948. He'd also become the first to win crucial Maricopa County since Truman. His performance in predominantly-Hispanic areas in urban areas and along the southern border would also decline compare to 2016, though would be supplemented by a raw increase in voter turnout.

2020 Arizona Proposition 207
Arizona Proposition 207 was a voter initiative that appeared on the November 3, 2020, Arizona general election ballot to legalize cannabis for recreational use. Passing with 60% of the vote, the initiative legalized the possession of up to an ounce of cannabis, licensed sales at dispensaries, and personal cultivation of up to six plants. Along with Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota, Arizona is one of four states that legalized recreational marijuana via ballot measures in 2020.


2020 Arizona Proposition 207
The first state-licensed recreational marijuana sales in Arizona took place on January 22, 2021, making Arizona the fastest state to go from a legalization vote to retail sales in U.S. history.


2020 Arizona Proposition 207, Provisions
Proposition 207, also known as the Smart and Safe Act, legalizes the adult recreational use of marijuana, specifically by allowing adults 21 and older in Arizona to possess up to 1 ounce (28 g) of marijuana (with no more than 5 grams being marijuana concentrate), and to have up to 6 marijuana plants at their home (with up to 12 marijuana plants in households with two or more adult members).


2020 Arizona Proposition 207, Provisions
It directs the state Department of Health Services to set forth rules for retail marijuana sales by June 1, 2021, allow marijuana to be subject to state and local sales taxes like other retail items, and imposes an additional 16% excise tax on marijuana products, with the revenue being split between the state government agencies responsible for activities relating to the act, highways, community college districts, police departments, and fire departments.


2020 Arizona Proposition 207, Provisions
The initiative provides that employers may still adopt "drug-free workplace" policies and restrict employees' and applicants' use of marijuana, and provides that the initiative does not permit marijuana use in public spaces. The initiative establishes that the possession of more than an ounce (28 g), but less than 2.5 ounces (71 g), of marijuana, by an adult is a petty offense. The initiative prohibits the sale of marijuana products that resemble a "human, animal, insect, fruit, toy or cartoon" and sets forth penalties for possession of marijuana by minors (which, for a first offense for possession of under an ounce of marijuana, is a $100 fine and drug counseling).


2020 Arizona Proposition 207, Provisions
The proposition imposes a 16 percent excise tax on cannabis. The first share of revenue will be used to enforce state cannabis regulations, with the remainder divided as follows: 33% for community colleges, 31.4% for police and fire departments, 25.4% for a highway fund, 10% for a justice fund, and 0.2% to the state attorney general for enforcement.


2020 Arizona Proposition 207, History
The Arizona Dispensaries Association and Arizona Cannabis Chamber of Commerce began organizing in August 2019 for another ballot initiative after a failed November 2016 ballot initiative. The Arizona Dispensaries Association filed a ballot initiative application on September 26, 2019, for the "Smart and Safe Act," seeking to obtain the necessary 237,645 signatures from registered Arizona voters by the July 2, 2020 deadline to get on the November 3, 2020 ballot.


2020 Arizona Proposition 207, History
Arizona legalization initiative, sponsored by Smart and Safe Arizona, had received 150,000 signatures by January 17, 2020, out of a required 237,645 signatures. The initiative likely had exceeded the minimum 237,645 valid signatures by April to appear on the November ballot. On July 1 the sponsors announced they had submitted over 420,000 signatures to the Secretary of State. On August 10, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs announced the initiative had qualified for the 2020 ballot as Proposition (Prop) 207.


2020 Arizona Proposition 207, History
The Associated Press announced that the initiative had passed on election day, November 3, 2020.

2020 Arizona wildfires
The 2020 Arizona wildfire season was a series of wildfires that burned across the state of Arizona. The season is a part of the 2020 Western United States wildfire season. With 2,520 fires burning 978,519 acres (395,993 ha) of land, it was the largest wildfire season in Arizona since 2011. Wildfires occur year-round in the state but are most numerous and typically burn the largest swaths of land during spring and summer. Peak fire season in the Southwest typically runs from May, when conditions are windy, hot, and dry, through mid-July, when the North American Monsoon provides the region with precipitation to slow fire activity.


2020 Arizona wildfires
By the end of the year, more than fifty fires larger than 1,000 acres (400 ha) had burned within the state. However, the most notable fire of the season, the Ocotillo Fire, burned only 980 acres (400 ha) over four days and threatened the town of Cave Creek. It destroyed 20 buildings, including 8 homes.


2020 Arizona wildfires, Early outlook
In April, the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management expected a "potentially active" fire season reminiscent of the 2019 season. Increased grass load from a wet winter is expected to contribute to an elevated risk of fire in the Central Arizona deserts. Southwest Coordination Center Predictive Services forecasted an Above Normal risk for significant wildland fires from May through July for most of Arizona (excepting the Colorado Plateau), with fire potential returning to Normal by August with the arrival of a climatologically average monsoon. They cited above normal fine fuel loading in southern Arizona deserts and an active weather pattern through mid-June to support this risk. A fire department helicopter crashed while bringing supplies to firefighters, killing the pilot.


2020 Arizona wildfires, List of wildfires
The following is a list of fires that burned more than 1,000 acres (400 ha), or produced significant structural damage or casualties.

While Arkansas was long a practically single-party state dominated by the Democratic Party during the Solid South, the rise of the Southern Strategy and the realignment of political parties has turned it and most other southern states into Republican strongholds. Republicans have controlled the House since the 2012 elections. Democratic strength is mostly isolated to Little Rock, the state capital and largest city, and Fayetteville, home to the University of Arkansas, as well as the Black Belt along the Mississippi Delta, with large populations of rural African Americans.
