The Arizona Green Party is ballot-qualified, and state law requires it to nominate by primary. There are three individuals seeking the Green Party nomination for U.S. Senate whom the Green Party believes are not sincere supporters of the party. One is believed to be sympathetic to the Republican Party. He is believed to be motivated by a desire to injure the eventual Democratic nominee.

Another sham candidate is believed to be sympathetic to the Democratic Party, and if he gets the Green nomination, he will withdraw.

A third sham candidate is running on a platform that completely contradicts the Green Party’s core values.

The party sent out a message to its members on March 27, asking them not to sign primary petitions for any of the three. There is a bona fide Green also seeking the nomination.

Minor parties in the U.S. are better off when states allow them to nominate by convention, as this example illustrates.
