New Alaska Lawsuit Concerning Initiative for a Top-Four Primary System

A proposed Alaska initiative to adopt a top-four system, and also to impose new campaign finance restrictions, is the subject of a second lawsuit. The first lawsuit was filed last month, to overturn a decision by the state that the proposed initiative is invalid because it violates the single-subject rule. That case is pending.

On September 19, a new lawsuit was filed against the state, to stop the state’s decision that the initiative may be circulated while the single-subject lawsuit is pending. The new lawsuit depends on state law that says initiatives can’t circulate until their legality is resolved. See this story. Thanks to Scott Kohlhaas for the link.
