Key Points:
- Arizona’s political party chiefs have named their presidential electors.
- And while the lists contain the usual assortment of party stalwarts and average citizens, something stood out about the Democratic electors: They are all female.
- That was intentional.
- “There is so much on the line this election— including a woman’s right to choose what she does with her own body without government interference,” party Chairwoman Yolanda Bejarano, herself an elector, said in a statement.
- “Each of these women have been stewards of democratic values in Arizona and have been a part of the fight to move our state forward.“
