A Maricopa County Superior Court judge said that a ballot proposition to end partisan primaries in Arizona will have votes cast for it counted after all.
The ruling is the latest development in the ongoing saga around Proposition 140, which would amend the Arizona Constitution to create an open primary system in elections, though it won’t be the final word.
Partisan opponents of the ballot measure will appeal the matter to the state Supreme Court, which last month took the unprecedented step of allowing the challenge to Prop. 140’s place on the ballot to continue past the deadline for ballots to be printed.
