On October 17, the same state court judge who had told Prescott, Arizona, not to hold the November 3, 2009 election for city council, refused to stay his own ruling. Consequently, the city will not mail out any more ballots while it prepares to appeal to the State Court of Appeals. The earlier ruling had delayed the election because the city had omitted to print the name of one candidate on the ballot. See this story.

For an explanation of why the city had not printed the name of one candidate on the ballot, see the earlier post here.
