As already reported, on Thursday evening, March 28, a U.S. District Court ordered office-group ballots for the June 4 primaries.  On March 30, a Saturday, the judge, in response to a question from the Republican Party, clarified that his March 28 order only applies to the Democratic primary, not the Republican primary.

On March 30, fifteen county clerks asked the judge for a stay.  But on March 30 Burlington County wrote to say it does not request a stay.  On Sunday, March 31, the Hudson County Clerk said his office does not seek a stay either.  It is quite unusual for different county governments to disagree with each other in a lawsuit in which they had all been sued.

Here is a link to Beyond the Beltway’s website. The broadcast is streamed online and is heard on about 25 radio stations across the US, although it airs on a delayed basis on certain radio stations.

On March 20, the Arizona Republican nominees for Governor and Secretary of State from 2022 asked the U.S. Supreme Court to expedite their lawsuit on vote-counting machines.  Since then, the Court has done nothing in this case,  Lake v Fontes, 23-1021.  It seems fairly clear that the Court isn’t interested in this case.
