Judge Strikes Down Michigan's Early Primary
The primary wrangling in Michigan has taken another turn, with a county judge invalidating the law setting up their rogue January 15 primary, on a technical clause.
The judge's ruling is based on the fact that the law makes information about which voters requested Republican or Democratic ballots only available to the state parties, and not to the public. The judge decided that this was not allowed under the state constitution.
The state GOP chairman called the ruling a "hiccup" that would not derail the primary. But with only 10 weeks until the primary, the parties don't have much time left to appeal the ruling or rewrite the law.
