The Arizona Libertarian Party has had a contentious, controversial history. For a time in the 1990s, there were two organizations claiming to be the official state party, one basing its claim on recognition by the national LP and the other on state laws governing the organization of recognized political parties given that the state LP had recently qualified for recognition. A petition from Arizona was rejected, after evidence was presented that there were irregularities in that state's temporary organization at the [[LNC Meeting 25 November 1972]]. | The Arizona Libertarian Party has had a contentious, controversial history.
