Mississippi has the same law. You cannot drop out of a race after being duly nominated solely because you think you will lose. The Mississippi statute calls it "for political reasons."

Of course, Democrats are never held to these election rules.

One statute declares that, except under specific circumstances, “no person who has been nominated by any means for any national, state, county or township office may” withdraw their name from the ballot after Primary Day. Those circumstances include death, and if a nominee “declares that they are incapable of fulfilling the duties of office if elected…by a request in writing.”

If I were Chad Taylor, I would be making plans to go into hiding ASAP.

Remember, these are Democrats that we are talking about.

If "death" appears to be the only way to accomplish their goal, well, it's not much of a stretch to figure out what the Democrats would do...

Not to worry. Democrats are not required to obey election laws. Only Republicans.

He could say that he is insane and suicidal; and since he’s a Dem, it would probably be true.

Whoopee, they will just find a left leaning judge who will say that what is written in the statute means the exact opposite. Up is down, down is up. More result oriented justice, coming your way.

Am I wrong, or if Taylor is allowed to drop out, could the Dems not just nominate Orman as their candidate?
