The Seattle Post-Intelligencer offers this report, which begins:

A candidate who wants to run for elective office as a Republican may do so without the blessing of the Washington State Republican Party.
That was the upshot of an injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Thomas Zilly. After throwing out the state’s Top Two primary election law two weeks ago, he declined yesterday to expand his ruling to let the political parties control which candidates get to use a party’s label.
By choosing not to give the Democratic, Republican and Libertarian parties more than what they had already won, the judge may have triggered yet more litigation — an encore to the parties’ lawsuits that invalidated the state’s popular “blanket” primary in 2003 and, on July 15, the Top Two system that voters approved last fall as Initiative 872.
