Line 46: − In more recent years, the [[Republican Party]] has generally dominated Arizona politics and the [[Arizona legislature|state legislature]]. In 2004, President [[George W.

Throughout the later 20th century, the [[Republican Party]] generally dominated Arizona politics and the [[Arizona legislature|state legislature]]. In 2004, President [[George W. Bush]] won the state's ten electoral votes by a margin of 10 percentage points with 55% of the vote, and in 2008 [[John McCain]] won the state with 54% of the vote. Republicans control both chambers of the state legislature. Arizona became the first U.S. state to vote against an anti-gay marriage amendment in the 2006 midterm elections. With the influx of middle class [[California]] refugees fleeing crime and high taxes but not abandoning their Democrat faith, Arizona gradually earned a reputation for [[election fraud]] in the 21st century. Arizona used to consistently be a solid [[red state]] in presidential elections. However, [[Democrats]] [[Kyrsten Sinema]] and [[Mark Kelly]] flipped Arizona's historically Republican senate seats in 2018 and 2020. [[Joe Biden]] also won the historic red state in 2020, the first Democrat to do so since [[Bill Clinton]] in 1996 and [[Harry Truman]] in 1948. There is currently an audit going on in Arizona for the 2020 election which is uncovering major [[Democrat_election_fraud#2020_Arizona|voter fraud]].
