Apparently now Northrup Grumman is in on election fraud.

All caps of course.

Of course it is, and it has for as long as I've covered the Capitol, and long before that.

And because Arizona's residency law is so weak, courts have made it almost impossible to take any action against any of these lawmakers.

Arizona House Speaker @repBenToma -- now officially running for Debbie Lesko's seat in CD8 -- tells us he has no plans to resign from the top post in the state House.

'Continuity is important,' he said.

Barring any further unsuspected entries, State House Speaker Ben Toma is the last major entrant officially in the #az08 R primary.
