The Independent Party of Oregon is asking its members to participate in a party-administered presidential primary. Names on the ballot will be Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, and “None of the Above.” This primary is binding.

The party also had a government-administered presidential primary in May, but the party is not using those results.

On June 21, eleven judges of the Ninth Circuit re-heard Public Integrity Alliance v City of Tucson, 15-16142. Tucson has partisan city elections. Each of the six wards has its own primary for city council. But in the general election, the entire city chooses between those nominees, plus any independent candidates who may be running. Here is a news story about the hearing. Republicans are unhappy with the system, because generally only the Democratic nominees ever win in the election itself. The voters and candidates who sued to overturn the system would prefer that each ward would choose its own councilmember in November, instead of having at-large elections.

Here is a news story about the hearing. The story does not provide any clues as to the outcome. The original Ninth Circuit panel had invalidated the system by a 2-1 vote, but then the city had prevailed in its attempt to get a rehearing en banc.
