State Board of Elections attorney Brian Quail told Kaplan the board would formally ask Sharpe Thursday to delay the primary to August. But Kaplan said the attorneys failed to persuade him to trigger a process that could lead to voters electing representatives in districts that the state court has deemed unconstitutional.
