Not mentioned by Adams and Cameron here is that Wingate also denied their motion to dismiss the KDP lawsuit.
Wingate: "Due to the nature
of this action, the Court will decide the merits in an expedited manner. Accordingly, the parties shall appear before the Court on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, at 9:30 a.m. for a full hearing on the merits."

In dismissing Dems motion for temp injunction, Wingate writes: "as the election machinery is well underway, enjoining HB 2 and SB 3 would
undoubtedly cause harm to Secretary Adams and election officials and would throw the election process into disarray."

Wingate adds: "public interest favors implementation of HB 2 and SB 3 pending an adjudication of the constitutionality."
Likewise, KDP statement glosses over their own motion also being denied. Everybody wins!
The parties will fight on in March.
