B. Election of unopposed candidates. If, as a result of the death or withdrawal of one or more candidates, the number of candidates for an office in a general election does not exceed the number of persons to be elected to the office, the remaining candidates are declared elected by the people, and their names shall not appear on the ballot in the general election.
thanks for the update.
In that case, Landrieu could spare us all a lot by pulling out.
I heard that the Democrat Senate Campaign Committee was reluctantly spending some money on her campaign. After originally deciding to not be involved with the runoff.
This election doesn’t have much meaning at this point. Republicans will still be in control of the Senate regardless of the outcome. Landrieu would be in the minority party, lose clout, lose committee chairmanships, etc. even if somehow she won this runoff.
It’s fun to watch this unfold as the Democrats have tough choices to make with Landrieu.
We’ll see if this is the end of her political career. It could well end right here for her.
