On March 21, Bob Kerrey won his ballot access lawsuit. He will be the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Nebraska this year. The Nebraska Republican Party had challenged his spot on the Democratic primary ballot on the grounds that he doesn’t actually live where he is registered to vote. See this story. Apparently the judge depended on the U.S. Constitution’s list of qualifications for anyone to run for Congress, and ruled that states cannot require candidates to be registered voters.
The 9th and 10th circuits had also previously ruled that states cannot require candidates for Congress to be registered voters, but Nebraska is in the 8th Circuit.
Cong qualification cases have gone on for about 100 plus years.
Keep suing the MORONS to bankrupt them.
The Republican Party was claiming that the requirement that Kerry be a registered voter to file, was a manner regulation, and that he could seek nomination as a write-in candidate.
They were probably just wanting to make sure that his “residency” were on the record (he registered to vote and gave his address as his sister’s house; and then stayed at the Omaha Hilton. The next day he claimed a different residential address and then stayed at the Omaha Hilton.
