Governor, Legislature obligated to fix primary mess

It appears that Governor Brad Little is not going to call a special session to deal with the need to re-instate the March presidential primary. This has to be a tragedy of epic proportions.

Surely the governor understands that under current policy our military and our absentee voters will have no vote. That has to be considered a terrible tragedy.

Some have suggested that the Legislature ought to call itself into session. I am told they can do that, but they cannot limit the session to a single topic, as the governor can.

Any decision has to be made before October to avoid other problems.

The Legislature and the governor caused this problem, and they have a moral obligation to solve it. 

Thanks so much.
