Top candidates battle charges in Arizona's US House race
PHOENIX (AP) — Allegations of impropriety against the top candidates were on voters' minds as the last ballots were being cast in Tuesday's Republican primary to replace a U.S. congressman from Arizona who quit amid charges of sexual misconduct last year.
Arizona relies heavily on mail-ballots and they were completed before the sex-related and campaign funding revelations surfaced. So it was unclear just how much of an impact the early voting would have on the contest wrapping up to replace former Rep. Trent Franks in the western Phoenix suburbs of the 8th Congressional District.
