ACCORDING TO A NEWS REPORT BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THE STATE’S HIGHEST COURT ISSUED A 1 PARAGRAPH RULING YESTERDAY, STRIKING DOWN A LOWER COURT JUDGE’S RULING THAT THE LAWS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THAT RULING BY JUDGE MARY LEAVITT WOULD HAVE MADE THE CURRENT MAIL IN VOTING LAWS ILLEGAL. BUT THE RULING ON TUESDAY MEANS THAT THE JUSTICES WILL NOW TAKE MORE TIME TO ISSUE A FINAL RULING ON THE MATTER. THEY ARE SCHEDULED TO HEAR ARGUMENTS ON THE MATTER NEXT TUESDAY. ANY DELAY COULD PUSH BACK THE PA PRIMARY SCHEDULED FOR THIS MAY.
