Hank, as a long time independent I don't support either of the two parties, but instead focus on the individual candidates while looking closely at their stance on issues. I get turned OFF quickly when a candidate changes opinions/positions based upon which way the political winds are blowing. I recently worked with a group to do a survey of a small sample of voters on issues important to AZ. The top 5 issues were election reform (including having more choices than the current 2 parties), water resource management, K-12 education (including better funding), housing affordability, and health care. I could go on, but I'll stop here.
Weird! How was the election reform question worded? I've never heard of that boiling to the top of any surveys -- wonder if the question was phrased to appeal to both deniers and election realists?
I think it focused on having more and better choices as well as pushing back against the restrictive voting rules that some legislators have tried to implement. The responses were focused on getting away from re-hashing prior elections while at the same time making sure the process is easy for people to vote.

Interesting. Can you share it? Mostly just out of curiosity but may also be worth quoting at some point
