[Political Junkie Too]

Were we to adopt appellant's argument, our decision would render nugatory this important public policy and reduce the primary election to a choice of one.

That was for a primary election. In the general election, aren't there other party candidates besides the Republicans and Democrats? Who says that an election with no Democrat candidate reduces it to a choice of one?

The court put its seal of approval on the legislature retroactively

changing the deadline to avoid the 48 hour rule. Statutes are not normally retroactive and I think the decision stinks. But the reasoning, if the statute was again retroactively changed would be the same.

The key points here is not about primaries, it is about approving a statute that retroactively moves the election goal posts.
