On September 24, Kara D. Russo filed a lawsuit in the Rhode Island Supreme Court against both her own political party (the Republican Party) and the Secretary of State.  See this story.  She alleges that it is unconstitutional for the Republican Party to have no nominee on the November ballot for Lieutenant Governor.  The winner of the Republican Party primary for that office withdrew after the primary and endorsed an independent candidate, and the Republican Party does not wish to choose a new nominee.  The case is Russo v Mollis, su-10-0339.  A preliminary hearing in the case, seeking an injunction to stop printing ballots, is being held on Monday, September 27.
