I find it odd that a new policy is given preference even if a restraining order wins, and the courts suspend any restraining orders pending the appeals. The new policy should be blocked pending appeal instead, if the policy changes a long held status quo.

The danger is that with only two candidates, the GOP could get the first and second highest votes on the primary, making a GOP governor a certainly (the November ballot would only have GOP candidates on it). I’m glad someone pulled ahead.
