Lawsuit Seeks to Get Prop. 60 Off Ballot
Advocates of ending party primaries have sued to knock off the Nov. 2 ballot a rival measure that the Legislature created to protect the current system.

If passed, Proposition 60 could nullify Proposition 62, which would create one primary open to all candidates. The top two would face off in the general election.
