Arizona Supreme Court

mclaughlin/united Food v. bennett/sos Ballot

September 2, 2010

Summary

The court affirmed the superior court’s injunction preventing Proposition 108 from appearing on the ballot. It held that the challenge was not barred by laches because the delay did not prejudice the opposing parties or election administration, and that the proposition violated Arizona’s separate-amendment rule because its provisions concerning public-election ballots and union-representation elections were not sufficiently interrelated.
