Nebraska Supreme Court Won’t Disturb Lower Court Ruling that Put Bob Kerrey on the Democratic Primary Ballot

On March 26, the Nebraska Supreme Court declined to hear the Republican Party’s appeal, in the case over whether Bob Kerrey should be on the Democratic primary ballot on May 15 as a candidate for U.S. Senate. See this story. The Supreme Court said it doesn’t have jurisdiction, so the lower court decision stands. The lower court said candidates for federal office cannot be required to be registered voters, so even if Kerrey’s voter registration is improper, it doesn’t make any difference to whether he can run.
