Democrats win top ballot position fight
U S District Judge S E Campos ruled the 1978 general election ballot form will not change to move Democrats from the top. He ordered a neutral future ballot design that includes all parties, noting risk of unconscious votes favoring those listed first. The ruling stems from a suit by the state Republican Party led by Garvey Carruthers against Secretary of State Ernestine Evans.
