(Credit: Getty/Photo Montage by Salon) American cities have become increasingly liberal, while the Republican Party controls most state governments.

Now Republicans in the Arizona state legislature are using that power to protect the flow of dark money — cash spent on campaigns from secret donors — into state and local elections.
