"Bad news: Washington voters decided yesterday to adopt the Cajun primary system. :-("
I hate that Louisiana "jungle primary" format, and believe it to be an infringement upon the freedom of speech and association of members of political parties. I think that just as the "blanket primary" formerly used in Washington was declared unconstitutional last year (or maybe earlier this year), the jungle primary could be struck down by the Ninth Circuit, which would be following its blanket primary precedent, and since the case would surely get appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, it could eventually result in the Louisiana primary being declared unconstitutional as well.
BTW, didn't Governor Locke veto a bill earlier this year that would have established a jungle primary because he was afraid that it would get struck down by the courts? So they adopted it by referendum instead, huh? I hope Locke's instincts were correct and the jungle primary does get overturned.
