Yes, the sore loser law is real. Steelmam can not run as an independent or write in. If a voter writes in her name it will not be counted. Shame on Palin for not checking the law before entering the fray!
“Shame on Palin for not checking the law before entering the fray!”
That is what I was afraid of. She cannot afford to make that kind of gaffe.
I figure Palin knows it. She was giving props to Steelman to keep her name in major contention for being chosen as a replacement if Akin does indeed step down before Sept 25.
She said it's a decision that should be made (third party challenger) if Akin doesn't get out by the September deadline.
He can drop between now and then but has to pay for the ballots to be reprinted.
But as I understand she can run as a third party which is what was recommended - not as independent or write in
