Arizona voters will have to wait a little longer
to find out whether they will have a say over an anti-illegal
immigration measure that has qualified to go on the Nov. 2 ballot. A
judge has refused to stop Maricopa County election officials from
including the Protect Arizona Now measure on more than 1.4 million
ballots they had already ordered for this year's general election.
Judge Mark Armstrong of Maricopa County Superior Court said
Tuesday he had decided not to consider a request from the Service
Employees International Union to halt ballot printing. But Armstrong
will weigh in the next week whether Proposition 200 should go to
voters. Armstrong hinted Tuesday that the issue could go to the state's
Supreme Court for a final say. Thus it may not be known until right
before early balloting begins whether votes cast for the measure should
be counted. [more ]
