Yavapai County Superior Court Judge John Napper ruled that the law eliminating elections for party offices was illegal special legislation and therefore void.
from a political mess they created when they repealed elections for political party precinct committeemen and set off a firestorm among Republican party activists.
But buried in the bill, and apparently overlooked by Senate President Karen Fann and House Speaker Rusty Bowers, was a passage making precinct committee offices for the state’s 30 legislative districts appointed this year. Precincts can have more than two dozen committeemen. Elections are held only if there are more candidates than available seats, which happens rarely.signed by Republican Gov.
That left Republicans on the hot seat, since without Democratic votes they lacked the 2/3 majority they needed for an emergency clause that would restore the elections before the Aug. 2 primary.
