World Cup of Arizona Politics
Welcome to the World Cup of Arizona Politics!
This is the group stage. Each group has a member of the US House, a state wide political figure, a legislator, a local official and a “wild card.” It’s almost like the World Cup, ‘cept there are five in each group to make it more palatable to American audiences, and France didn’t cheat their way in.
Please choose one politician from each group. You may use any rational, irrational or pseudo scientific method you’d like to make your choices. Voting will be open until Wednesday, December 9th at 8:00 AM.
The top two in each group will make in to a round of sixteen and will be seeded according to their group stage votes.
