Lt. Governor Maldonado Issues Statement on Successful Open Primary Lawsuit Intervention

From a press release just in:

 

“Today, the court sided with the voters to protect their rights by officially allowing me to intervene in a lawsuit brought by political insiders in an attempt to block implementation of open primaries. I will continue to do everything in my power to defend the open primary system because California voters deserve equal access to the ballot and am looking forward to the court upholding the will of the people.”

 

California voters approved an open primary system by passing Proposition 14 on the June 8, 2010 ballot.
