ICYMI: Judge rules that @Adrian_Fontes took a little too much license in crafting ballot language on Prop 145 that its approval also would totally nullify anything else that dealt with the same area of vouchers -- like Prop 212 -- even tho that is true. tucson.com/news/state-region…

Judge being asked to decide whether "impartial" explanation of ballot measure aimed at @ArizonaEA (and maybe other unions) is accurate, as law requires, or just a political lie by Republican lawmakers. tucson.com/news/state-region…

Arizona Independent Party chair Paul Johnson tells me he will appeal a ruling, published this morning, that @AZSecretary could not change the name of No Labels Party to AIP without going through signature process. So, more legal wrangling on the way.

A Maricopa County judge ruled that Secretary of State @Adrian_Fontes lacked legal authority to permit the No Labels Party to change its name to the Arizona Independent Party and that state law has no procedure for parties to change their names. courtminutes.clerkofcourt.ma…

@JDMesnard seeking to tell charter cities like Tucson, Prescott, and Tempe that they have to hold their elections on the same day as national and statewide votes despite claims by cities that such a schedule buries their own issues on the ballot. tucson.com/news/local/govern…

Senate Judiciary & Elections Committee unanimously OKs SB1609, which bars new political parties from using words like "independent" or "unaffiliated" in their names. It would retroactively bar the No Labels Party's name change to the AZ Independent Party. axios.com/local/phoenix/2026…

State law was changed yesterday to move the primary election up by two weeks, which means the signature deadline is now two weeks earlier, on March 23. Not being able to use E-Qual this weekend is a big blow to any candidate who doesn’t have all their signatures yet.
Arizona Election Law retweeted
The Secretary of State's Office is working toward getting E-Qual back online later today, they tell me. For now, the site is down for maintenance. They describe last night's outage and today's outage as two separate incidents.
