• Primary Election Returns Slow so Far

YAKIMA, Wash. -- The 2011 primary election is decidedly a metropolitan Yakima affair. Outside of council races in Union Gap and Yakima and two charter amendments for Yakima voters to decide, there are only two other races in the county on the ballot.

• Primary Election 2011: Hurrah for Heidelbaugh

The Allegheny County Charter provides for two at-large members on the 15-member County Council. One must be a Democrat, one must be a Republican. There is a contested race on the GOP side in the May 17 primary election. The winner will take the seat. This race has become ground zero in something of a civil war in county Republican ranks. The council's GOP minority broke with tradition -- and good sense -- and decided to appoint, on an interim basis, former Councilman Ed Kress to fill the Republicans' at-large seat vacated by Chuck McCullough. (The charter mandated that Mr. McCullough resign the seat when he became a formal candidate for county chief executive.)

• Editorial: Revisit Primary Election Law

When Secretary of Administration Dennis Taylor has finished rooting out all the state laws that unduly hinder business growth and job development in his role as chief repealer, we'd suggest he and other officials take a look at the law that requires Kansas to conduct a presidential primary election every four years. The law has been on the books since 1990, but Kansans haven't voted in a presidential primary since 1992. The only other time the state's voters participated in a presidential primary was 1980, when one was conducted as an experiment.

• Winners, Losers in Primary Election

Tuesday's primary election saw a modest turnout of Dearborn's Arab American community and a relatively high turnout for the Dearborn Heights Arab American community. Neither of the Arab American candidates for Dearborn's 19th District Court judgeship, Adel Harb nor Sam Salamey, was able to qualify for the November runoff. State Senate candidate Alex Shami was also soundly defeated Tuesday. This primary election once again raises traditional questions about the relatively low level of Arab American electoral participation in Dearborn despite the high number of registered voters (over 11,500 Arab Americans). Despite disappointing results regarding Arab American candidates in Dearborn, Arab American voters had an impact on several races in Dearborn and Dearborn Heights. The Arab American P...

• New Primary System, New Districts Reshape Tuesday's Election

Most voters will go to the polls Tuesday, cast their ballots and go about the rest of their day not realizing they've participated in a significant election. Voters will use the new top two primary system to narrow down to two candidates what in some cases is a wide field. The two candidates who receive the most votes - regardless of party affiliation - will compete in newly redrawn state and congressional district posts in the November general election.
