Kansas is probably going to be quite different because of Kris Kobach, the Secretary of State. They may wiggle, they may squirm, but in the end Kobach will hold their feet to the fire. Even if they find a friendly judge, it’s unlikely that the legal issues will be resolved and Kobach has the final say on whose name is printed on the ballot.
This was the corrupt bargain all along between Orman and Taylor. It allowed Orman to run as an Independent and collect all the Democrat votes when Taylor withdrew together with the disgruntled liberal Repbulican who have been left on the sidelines in recent years. Orman is a Democrat and would have declared himself one after the election. It doesn’t look like their little scheme is going to work.
Thanks for the explanation on Greg Orman. Now it makes perfect sense why the Jackass party doesn’t want to replace their drop-out: They have what they want in Greg Orman, but running with the Jackass label would be an electoral liability.
