U.S. District Court Again Denies Injunctive Relief to Senator Kurita

On October 17, the 6th circuit refused to issue an injunction, putting Tennessee State Senator Rosalind Kurita on the November ballot. After the election is over, the 6th circuit will weigh the constitutionality of Tennessee’s refusal to put the winner of the Democratic primary on the November ballot, when the Democratic Party doesn’t want her on the ballot. In the meantime she is pursuing her write-in campaign. UPDATE: this post, as originally worded, was mistaken. Kurita did not ask the 6th circuit to overturn the decision; instead she merely asked for a rehearing from the U.S. District Court Judge. As of October 20, she is still undecided about seeking relief from the 6th circuit.
