On October 24, the 6th circuit refused to put Tennessee State Senator Rosalind Kurita on the ballot. She had won the August primary but the Democratic Party had still removed her and substituted her primary opponent, on the grounds that too many Republicans had voted in the Democratic primary. The case remains alive, and next year the 6th circuit will probably decide whether the Democratic Party really has the authority to do what it did this year. The case is Kurita v The State Primary Board of the Tennessee Democratic Party, 08-6245.
