Right to vote in primaries ruled sacred by judge
Kanelle City Missouri August 14 Judge Brumbeck of the circuit court held it unconstitutional for a political committee to abridge voter rights by restricting primary ballots based on past party voting. The ruling said the ballot is sacred and parties cannot assess who may vote by past elections. The committee had barred those not voting the straight party ticket at the last state election from county primaries, prompting appeals.
