The Michigan State Court of Appeals will hear Ebbers v Secretary of State on June 11. The issue is whether someone may circulate a recall petition, even if he or she doesn’t live in the district. Case number 283782.
The other three cases pending on the subject of the residency of circulators are Nader v Brewer (pending in the 9th circuit), Moore v Brunner (pending in US District Court in Ohio), and Yes on Term Limits v Savage (pending in the 10th circuit).
Nebraska held a presidential primary for the Democratic, Republican, Green, and Constitution Parties, on May 13. The Democratic presidential primary is just a beauty contest, since Democrats used a caucus in February to choose delegates. Here are the results, from the Secretary of State’s web page.
On May 13, Mississippi held a special run-off US House election in the First District. Democrat Travis Childers appears to have won with approximately 54% of the vote. When this district voted in November 2006, the vote had been Republican 65.9%, Democratic 34.1%.
The West Virginia Secretary of State’s webpage is posting election returns for all candidates on the ballot, and all races. Thus, the Secretary of States’s webpage is superior in some ways to CNN. On the other hand, the Secretary of State’s webpage only posts results from counties that are complete, so it doesn’t have as many votes tallied. But for those who want to know how John Edwards is doing in the Democratic primary, and how Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, Alan Keyes, and Jerry Curry, are doing in the Republican presidential primary, check the Secretary of State’s page.
Here is a link to the CNN election returns page for West Virginia.
