SIGNED: Copyright by Roy Dv Morey 1964 PREFACE Despite the efforts of the constitutional framers to separate the functions of government, the legislative process is a continuous fabric in which the legislative and executive branches mesh their activities. The preparation and initiation of legislation is not within the exclusive domain of the legislature. In fact the twentieth century executive is the most highly regarded participant in the process of lawmaking. Nowadays students of politics assume that the governor will strive to become the state's chief legislator. Since statehood Arizona has had governors who have been described as being either effective or ineffective leg­ islative leaders. The purpose of this study is to probe the various tools of formal and informal influence to determine the basis of legislative leadership. Arizona is especially suited for such an inquiry because the fundamental structure of the governor's office has not changed substantially since 1912, nor have the formal legislative tools. Hence there is an opportunity to employ an historical-comparative method of analysis. Although each governor must be viewed in his proper historical perspective, it is possible to compare and iii iv correlate the raw data of his legislative role. His position viz a viz the legislature has not been altered. The historical-comparative method will be supple­ mented by quantitative analysis. Lest one be misled, it is not my belief that all knowledge about politics can be re­ duced to a numerical product. Quantitative method can be valuable however, if it is used with prudence and moderation. It provides the common denominator essential to comparative research. Also it serves as a means of condensing enormous quantities of research into manageable and meaningful limits. Research in Arizona politics is truly a mixed blessing. Because there has been so little done in this area, the re­ searcher has the advantage of plowing a virgin terrain of inquiry which is both fertile and abundant. On the other hand, he must assume the handicap of being without source material in charting his exploration. Because of this latter limitation, the reader will notice a conspicuous absence of secondary sources used in this study and a reliance on per­ sonal observations, official records, and interviews. Although it would be impossible to list all who have contributed to the preparation of this dissertation, I would be remiss if I did not mention a few. My interest in this subject.was initially pursued while I was a Fellow in State Government of the National Center for Education in Politics in 1961-1962. For an eight month period I was special V legislative assistant to Governor Paul J. Fannin. Thanks to the aid and encouragement of Governor Fannin, his admin­ istrative assistant, John M. McGowan, and numerous members of the legislature, I received the most rewarding political experience of my life. A special note of appreciation is extended to Pro­ fessor Oonrad Joyner of the Department of Government, who generously gave of his time and ideas in directing the re­ search and writing of this dissertation. Also I am grateful for the able assistance of Professors Ourrin "V. Shields and David A. Bingham of the Department of Government who read the entire manuscript and made suggestions regarding style and substance. My most imposing debt is to my wife, Delores, who has been my most faithful assistant throughout the past five years of graduate study. In the preparation of this disser­ tation she acted in the capacity of researcher, typist and editor. For these reasons, and others too numerous to men­ tion, this study is dedicated to her.

ABSTRACT Students of state government have "become increasingly aware of the political role of the governor. While the polit­ ical role encompasses all roles assumed by the governor, it is especially associated with and dependent upon the gover­ nor's legislative role. Traditionally the effectiveness of the governor has been measured by careful and casual observers in terms of legislative leadership. It is generally agreed that the basis for such leadership is similar to our national chief executive.

PETRANY JONES DAY 51 Louisiana Ave., NW Washington, D.C. 20001 (202) 879-3939 [email protected] Counsel for Petitioners i QUESTIONS PRESENTED Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act prohibits voting practices that “result[] in a denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen ... to vote on account of race or color.” 52 U.S.C. § 10301(a). Such a discriminatory “result” occurs if an election is not “equally open to participation” by racial minorities, giving them “less opportunity than other members of the electorate to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice.” Id. § 10301(b). Arizona gives all citizens an equal opportunity to vote in person or by mail, and authorizes ballots to be turned in by a family member, household member, or caregiver. In the decision below, however, the Ninth Circuit held that Arizona violated § 2 by (1) requiring in-person voters to cast ballots in their assigned precincts; and (2) prohibiting “ballot-harvesting,” i.e., third-party collection and return of ballots.

    behavior research center’s Rocky Mountain Poll NEWS RELEASE [RMP 2014-I-04] Contact: Earl de Berge Research Director [email protected] Jim Haynes President/CEO [email protected] JOB PERFORMANCE RATINGS SENATOR McCAIN STILL IN A SLUMP SENATOR FLAKE RATINGS IMPROVE Phoenix, Arizona, February13, 2014 Should U.S. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) decide to run for re-election in 2016, he may face a tough struggle to convince voters to stay the course with him. Voter attitudes toward his performance in Washington remain sharply divided with 37 percent applauding his efforts but 33 percent giving him a thumbs down. What is more, the proportion rating his performance as “poor” rose to 33 percent in January from 26 percent this past summer. Another 23 percent classify his job performance as only “fair” which overall means that the combined percent who rate his performance as “fair” or “poor” stands at 56 percent. Perhaps more ominous to his chances for being re-nominated by his party for a sixth term, is the finding that the proportion of registered Republicans who rate his performance as “poor” rose to 38 percent in January from only 27 percent last summer. Simultaneously, the proportion of Republicans who gave him favorable job ratings fell to 34 percent from 38 percent last summer. Evidence that Senator McCain continues to cause some Republicans to scratch their heads was also seen recently when he was censored by the Arizona Republican Party for being “too associated with liberal Democrats.” The Senator responded to the censorship saying that he had a strong conservative voting record and that being censored by the party may only embolden him to seek a sixth term in 2016 when he turns 80.

CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT No. 19–1257. Argued March 2, 2021—Decided July 1, 2021* Arizona law generally makes it very easy to vote. Voters may cast their ballots on election day in person at a traditional precinct or a “voting center” in their county of residence. Ariz. Rev. Stat. §16–411(B)(4). Arizonans also may cast an “early ballot” by mail up to 27 days before an election, §§16–541, 16–542(C), and they also may vote in person at an early voting location in each county, §§16–542(A), (E). These cases involve challenges under §2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA) to aspects of the State’s regulations governing precinct-based election- day voting and early mail-in voting. First, Arizonans who vote in per- son on election day in a county that uses the precinct system must vote in the precinct to which they are assigned based on their address. See §16–122; see also §16–135.

  • The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network
    PLATFORMS AND OUTSIDERS IN PARTY NETWORKS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE DIGITAL POLITICAL ADVERTISING NETWORK Bridget Barrett A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at the Hussman School of Journalism and Media. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Daniel Kreiss Adam Saffer Adam Sheingate © 2020 Bridget Barrett ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Bridget Barrett: Platforms and Outsiders in Party Networks: The Evolution of the Digital Political Advertising Network (Under the direction of Daniel Kreiss) Scholars seldom examine the companies that campaigns hire to run digital advertising. This thesis presents the first network analysis of relationships between federal political committees (n = 2,077) and the companies they hired for electoral digital political advertising services (n = 1,034) across 13 years (2003–2016) and three election cycles (2008, 2012, and 2016). The network expanded from 333 nodes in 2008 to 2,202 nodes in 2016. In 2012 and 2016, Facebook and Google had the highest normalized betweenness centrality (.34 and .27 in 2012 and .55 and .24 in 2016 respectively). Given their positions in the network, Facebook and Google should be considered consequential members of party networks. Of advertising agencies hired in the 2016 electoral cycle, 23% had no declared political specialization and were hired disproportionately by non-incumbents. The thesis argues their motivations may not be as well-aligned with party goals as those of established political professionals. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES ....................................................................................................................
