CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT No. 06–713. Argued October 1, 2007—Decided March 18, 2008* After the Ninth Circuit invalidated Washington’s blanket primary sys- tem on the ground that it was nearly identical to the California sys- tem struck down in California Democratic Party v. Jones, 530 U. S. 567, state voters passed an initiative (I–872), providing that candi- dates must be identified on the primary ballot by their self- designated party preference; that voters may vote for any candidate; and that the two top votegetters for each office, regardless of party preference, advance to the general election. Respondent political par- ties claim that the new law, on its face, violates a party’s associa- tional rights by usurping its right to nominate its own candidates and by forcing it to associate with candidates it does not endorse. The District Court granted respondents summary judgment, enjoining I– 872’s implementation. The Ninth Circuit affirmed. Held: I–872 is facially constitutional.

    California's Open-Primary Reform Leaves Open Questions As to Its

    Issue 1603 California’s Open Primary Primer May/June INTRODUCTION TABLE OF CONTENTS California’s Open-Primary Reform Leaves Open Questions as to Its Effect on Golden State Politics INTRODUCTION By Bill Whalen California’s Open-Primary A funny thing happened to California on the way to its moment of glory as the decider of the fate of the next Republican presidential nominee. Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Ohio Reform Leaves Open Questions Governor John Kasich abruptly quit the race in early May, a month before California’s as to Its Effect on Golden State June 7 vote, leaving the California landscape wide open to Donald Trump. Politics by Bill Whalen Quicker than you can say “Lucy pulls the football away,” the Golden State found itself flat on its back, once again without a significant role in the selection process. (The Democratic contest between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Senator Bernie POLL ANALYSIS Sanders has been pretty much a given going back to March.) California’s June Primary: The last time California was a real player in primary season? Ronald Reagan needed the Laying the Foundation for What Golden State to stay alive, in 1976, during his challenge to Gerald Ford. Otherwise, we’re is to Come looking at 1968 and Robert F. Kennedy’s fabled run that ended in tragedy—and 1964 and by Carson Bruno the GOP ideological rift that pitted the conservative icon Barry Goldwater versus the decid- edly moderate Nelson Rockefeller. FEATURED COMMENTARY This isn’t to suggest that California is irrelevant in 2016.

    Alabama Left Behind on Immigration, GOP Now Courting Latino Voters with Talk of Reform

    Alabama left behind on immigration, GOP now courting Latino voters with talk of reform Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 2:43 PM Updated: Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 4:13 PM By Challen Stephens | [email protected] In the days since the election, national GOP leaders appear to have turned away from Alabama and Arizona, no longer promoting a pair of high profile experiments in aggressive immigration enforcement. And while Republicans in Congress are suddenly talking about immigration reform, for the first time in two years no one in Alabama politics is calling for tougher state statutes. Sen. Bill Holtzclaw, R-Madison, said Alabama lawmakers accomplished their goal with the state law. "I truly believe if Alabama had not passed HB 56, the U.S. Supreme Court would not have taken up immigration law," said Holtzclaw late last week. "As far as from the political standpoint, I don't see any other movement with HB 56 or any other plans," said Holtzclaw. Rep. Mike Ball, R-Madison, said the legislative debate has run its course in Alabama. "Even before the election, the general consensus was 'We've done enough, let the courts work it out,'" he said "It's time for the Congress to have that discussion." "We've done the best we can. It was a complicated issue." President Obama last week earned record support among Latino voters, a key demographic in swing states such as Florida. Two days after the election, House Speaker John Boehner said he was confident Congress could reach a solution, telling ABC News that comprehensive immigration reform was "long overdue." Those comments marked a decidedly different approach than the one espoused by presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.

    Gay Liberation Comes to Dixie—Slowly

    Alabama: Commandments, Amendments, and Defendants Patrick R. Cotter Alabama’s 2004 election was a quiet affair. Signs that a presidential campaign was occurring—candidate visits, partisan rallies, hard-hitting tele- vision commercials, or get-out-the-vote efforts—were largely missing from the state. The outcome of Alabama’s U.S. Senate race was a forgone conclu- sion from the beginning of the year. All of the state’s congressmen were easily reelected. Contests for the few state offices up for election in 2004 were generally both invisible and uncompetitive. The only part of the ballot that generated any interest—and even here it was limited—involved a pro- posed amendment to Alabama’s already long state constitution. Alabama’s 2004 election was also a clear Republican victory. Republi- cans George W. Bush and Richard Shelby easily carried the state in the presidential and U.S. Senate elections. The GOP kept it 5-to-2 advantage in Congressional seats. Republicans swept all the contested positions on the state Supreme Court. Alabama’s 2004 election campaign was not the first time the state had experienced a quiet presidential campaign. Nor was it the first in which Republicans did quite well. Both the 1988 and 2000 campaigns were also low-key affairs. Both were also campaigns that the GOP clearly won. These earlier low-key, Republican-winning, presidential campaigns did not significantly alter the state’s partisan politics. Rather, the close partisan balance that has characterized the state since the 1980s continued beyond these elections. (For descriptions of these earlier campaigns and analyses of recent Alabama politics see Cotter 1991; Cotter 2002; Ellington 1999; Cotter and Gordon 1999 and Stanley 2003).

Eisenhower. This thesis explores and examines why the emergence of a thriving suburban community that voted Republican occurred. This examination used a collection of numerous sources, primary and secondary. Newspapers served as the most important tool for discovering why the new suburbs aligned to Republicanism. The sources describe a suburban area that aligned with the Republican Party due to numerous reasons: race, Eisenhower’s popularity, the Cold War, and economic issues.
