Three California Political Parties File Lawsuit, Alleging that Top-Two Primary Law is Unconstitutional

On November 21, the Peace & Freedom Party and the Libertarian Party of California, along with the Green Party of Alameda County, filed a lawsuit in Superior Court in Alameda County, complaining that Proposition 14, the “top-two” measure passed in June 2010 by the voters, violates the rights of voters to vote freely in November, and also that the measure violates the Associational rights of political parties and their candidates. The case is Rubin v Bowen, RG 11-605301. Here is the complaint.
