Sedgwick County Republicans filed in Shawnee County District Court asking a judge to stop the state from opening the Aug 3 primary to unaffiliated voters. A separate temporary restraining order halted state party chairman Dennis Jones from opening the GOP primary statewide. Attorneys note Jones acted without executive committee consent and without consulting the party delegation. The court decision will come early next week as ballots near June 18 mailings to Kansas military voters.
