We're only 13 days away from primary election day in Arizona, and if you want to request an early ballot, you've only got two days left to do it. At this point, nearly 76,000 independents requested early ballots in Maricopa County — more than 45,000 wanted a Republican ballot.

That probably speaks to how many competitive Republican races there are compared to Democratic races.

Democratic strategist Bob Grossfield, president and CEO of The Media Guys, joined us to discuss that.
