Green Party alleges it’s the target of mischief in Arizona Senate race

The Arizona Green Party says it believes that two of the people set to appear on its primary ballot are both candidates planted by the major parties in a bid to sway the results of one of the country’s most hotly contested Senate races.

The state’s Green Party, a liberal group with just about 3,000 registered voters, suspects that one candidate for its nomination, Arturo Hernandez, is being boosted by Republicans and that the other, Mark Norton, is actually supported by Democrats.
