Court Ruling May Derail Michigan Primary Move

The chaos of the primary schedule continues, via the AP:

The timing of Michigan's presidential primary, which has been pushed up to Jan. 15, was at least temporarily derailed by a court ruling on Wednesday.

Ingham County Circuit Court Judge William Collette ruled that part of the law passed by the state Legislature setting up the primary election is unconstitutional because it prevents public access to some information related to voting records in the primary.

The ruling could be appealed. The Legislature also could go back and change the law in time for the primary to be held.
