Ted Nugent and his good buddy, Kris Kobach
Democrat Chad Taylor withdrew his candidacy from the Kansas Senate race, leaving Greg Orman (KS-I) and Pat Roberts (VA-R).
After his name was physically removed from the ballot, Kris Kobach–the worst secretary of state in the nation intervened and ordered him to stay on the ballot. It was a move that was viewed as hyper-partisan and highly unusual.
Not going down without a fight, Democrats asked the Kansas Supreme Court to immediately intervene, charging Kobach with dereliction of duty.
The court has agreed to hear the case:
In a two-page order, Chief Justice Lawton R. Nuss said the court will hear oral arguments on Tuesday morning. It will not be heard by a district court, as requested by Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R).
At issue is a dispute over whether Taylor's name should be removed from the ballot. If it comes off, it could give Democrats a boost in their effort to hold a fragile Senate majority. If it stays on, it could help Republicans.
In the meantime, Kris Kobach's democratic challenger, Jean Schodorf has jumped into a
3-point lead and may be able to pull off a huge upset.
Can you chip in $5 to help elect Jean Schodorf and get the worst secretary of state in the nation out of office?
