Taylor Allowed Off Kansas Ballot

“The Kansas Supreme Court issued a decision laden with political intrigue Thursday that overruled the state’s top elections officer and declared Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Chad Taylor could pull himself from the November ballot,” the Topeka Capital Journal reports.

“In the middle of a wild campaign for the seat held by three-term Republican Sen. Pat Roberts, the high court’s opinion thwarted the decision of Secretary of State Kris Kobach to prohibit Taylor’s exit from race.”

Rick Hasen: “The big unanswered question is what happens to the other statute which appears to require Democrats to replace a withdrawn candidate on the ballot.”
