Apparently, despising democracy isn't a good platform for a candidate for AZSOS

 From Raw Story

'Trump audit' blasted as 'botched' by Arizona Republican booed off stage at his 'Big Lie' rally

Secretary of State hopeful and Arizona state Sen. Michelle Ugenti was booed off stage at the "Rally to Protect Our Elections" in Phoenix on Saturday.

"Whoaa. GOP Secretary of State candidate ⁦Michelle Ugenti⁩ is booed off stage at TPUSA rally for Trump. She opposed GOP lawmaker's wish list for election changes," KPNX-TV reporter Brahm Resnik reported. "FYI Trump base crowd was primed to boo Michelle Ugenti. Wasn't anything she said. Boos rained all over room from start till she bailed out."

Of course, if Ugenti-Rita exits the race for the R nomination for AZSOS that would leave Mark Finchem as the most significant R candidate* in that particular primary, and he despises democracy just as much as she does.

Update on 7/25/2021: Ugenti-Rita starts speaking at 1:19:06 mark of this CSPAN video; her appearance only lasts until 1:20:30 mark, so it's brief.


I'm not an expert on GOP politics (like that isn't obvious :) ), so maybe their primary voters like candidates who are combative and impatient.
