“The primary is on Tuesday. No way they can get Arpaio’s name off the ballot.”
I’m thinking if he’s already appointed people won’t bother to vote for him, plus he could come out and publicly endorse Ward.
A large percentage of Arizonans vote by mail-in ballot and therefore have already voted as ballots have been out since the first of the month.
I'd say that I probably have a better chance of being appointed to McCain's open seat than Arpiao has.
