Former Maricopa County Attorney who got nominated and appointed to the Arizona Supreme Court to be a reliable vote for Doug Ducey will be retained as a Supe.
That's the statewide result, but in Maricopa County, he didn't do so well.
Statewide -
Maricopa County, from the website of the Maricopa County Recorder -
Learned two things from this:
1. Ouch! The slap that Montgomery received from voters has gotta sting. Not only did he come in ~15% less than the other AZ Supes on the ballot, a majority of voters in Maricopa County want him to go away.
2. Maricopa County, long a Republican bastion, is bluer than most people thought. In addition to rejecting Montgomery, the voters here tended to support Democratic statewide candidates in a greater percentage than they garnered in the rest of the state.
