Given that both the Republican and Democratic nominees for President of the United States are largely determined by primary elections in each state, the failure of any state to hold such elections for either party constitutes an abridgment of the right of that state's citizens to vote. The probability, or lack thereof, of a primary candidate to win a primary election should not be a determinant of whether or not any state holds such an election. The current plan of the Republican party in the State of Arizona to not hold a primary election for the 2020 presidential race not only inhibits its citizens' right to vote, but as well impedes a candidate's right to participate in a free election (currently there are three Republican presidential candidates in addition to Trump.). Accordingly, authorities in charge of Arizona's elections should plan to include presidential candidates in its 2020 Republican primary election.
