The court ruled unanimously that Democrat Chad Taylor’s name has to be dropped from the ballot as he requested:
The Kansas Supreme Court on Thursday sided with the Democratic candidate for Senate in his attempt to drop off the November ballot, creating a tougher contest for the Republican incumbent, Pat Roberts, in a race with a strong independent candidate.
But the Kansas secretary of state, Kris Kobach, a Republican who had fought the withdrawal, said afterward that Democrats would have to pick another candidate, adding to the uncertainty about whose names would appear on the ballot.
Noticed the last bit?
Where Korbach is now insisting that the Democrats will have to nominate a replacement, something he never brought up during arguments?
I understand the electoral dynamics.
The current polls show that Pat Roberts wins in a 3-way race, and gets demolished in a 2-way race, but this is not an excuse for the secretary of state to be so blatantly corrupt.
Here is hoping that Kris Korbach ends up like disgraced former Kansas AG Phill Kline, who was disbarred.
