Indiana justices, elections board kick GOP US Senate candidate off primary ballot

[brooklynite]

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The bipartisan Indiana Election Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to remove one of two Republican U.S. Senate candidates from the primary ballot, and the state Supreme Court rejected his legal challenge to the law barring his candidacy.

The decision to remove John Rust from the ballot leaves U.S. Rep. Jim Banks as the only GOP candidate for the seat.

Rust had sued state officials over Indiana’s law requiring that candidates must have voted in their party’s past two primaries or received the approval of a county party chair in order to appear on the primary ballot.

1. Indiana has a "No Johnny-come-lately" law ??

Might be a positive for the GQP in that state,
as over the rest of the country,
any stupid-ass Q-Anon Republican can get themselves onto the ballot....
even if they had never even voted in an election before...

2. So...hot to trot to disquslify someone for a state voting regulation, but

no problem with enforcing the US constitution over an insurrectionist.
