Nebraska Supreme Court Won’t Hear “Sore Loser” Write-in Case

On July 12, the Nebraska Supreme Court refused to hear Rodgers v Heineman. This was the case filed by voters who wish to have their write-ins counted for Tom Osborne for Governor, in November. Osborne had lost the Republican primary in May. He has no interest in being a write-in candidate in November, but his passionate supporters wanted to cast a write-in for him anyway. State law says only write-ins cast for someone who filed a write-in declaration of candidacy will be counted. Also, another law won’t let primary losers file such a declaration of write-in candidacy.
