Judge says effort to force Nebraska Dems to replace vacancy on ballot unlikely to succeed
An effort to force the Nebraska Democratic Party to put up a Senate candidate is unlikely to succeed and raises “serious constitutional concerns,” a Lancaster County judge ruled Friday.
Lancaster County District Court Judge Susan Strong denied a motion for a temporary injunction filed by William Forbes, who received just over 10% of the vote in his primary race against Cindy Burbank. Forbes sought an injunction to force the party to replace Burbank on the November ballot after she dropped out last month.
