No Eligible Candidates Appear on Ballot for Kentucky State Senate, 29th District

The November 2024 Kentucky ballot in the 29th State Senate district has two names, but neither is eligible. The incumbent, who was running for re-election, was Johnnie L. Turner, but he died October 22. His death attracted considerable publicity because it was such an unusual accident. He was at home using a power lawn mover, but he drove it into the deep end of an empty swimming pool.

The other name on the ballot is independent candidate David Suhr, but he had announced earlier that he is ineligible to serve and he had asked voters not to vote for him.

It is possible a write-in candidate will win. Fortunately, Kentucky has a very late deadline for candidates to file as declared write-ins, and the deadline hasn’t passed yet. See this story.

    RFK Jr. asks Supreme Court to take him off Wisconsin ballot, despite missing deadline

    WASHINGTON – Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has asked the Supreme Court to take his name off the presidential ballot in Wisconsin in an emergency petition filed weeks after hundreds of thousands of ballots have been mailed out.
    Early in-person voting started Tuesday in the battleground state.
    Kennedy, who endorsed Republican Donald Trump after ending his independent bid, said he wants off the ballot so voters won’t be confused about his position.
    But he’s contributed to that confusion by seeking the Supreme Court’s help to get on the ballot in New York at the same time he was trying to get off the ballot in Wisconsin and other swing states.
