Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, and legislators, briefly considered a special session of the legislature to pass some alternate primary system and place it on the November ballot as a constitutional amendment. However, they have dropped plans to do this. See this story. The top-two initiative, assuming it qualifies, will be the only statewide ballot measure dealing with election law on the ballot.
Robot party hack morons at work.

P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
NO super-dangerous primaries are needed.
It sounds like Jan Brewer was channeling Debra Bowen.
If the article is correct it would seem Gov Brewer’s opposition to top-two is disingenous. With some compromise there might have been a wider debade on the whole issue (with rival measure on fall ballot)but bad leadership on her part gives the business roundtable-types who are backing top two what they want and need in less complications in their victory narritive.
Brewer will no doubt continue with her disingenousness in that she will FAIL (prove me wrong Gov) to get with high profile Democrats and articulate minor party people in an authentic attempt to build an impressive and credible coalition opposition to the extremely well financed top two forces.
Before or during or even shortly after the election she’ll will make her shift to the winning side, the side of the people of AZ she’ll say and genuinely been a big help to the top two forces who’ll benefit from her deliberate inferior leadership in opposition.
There’s a huge vacuum in AZ for leadership.
