But that is not what the law says?
The law says two things. First, the candidate who wants off the ballot must state they cannot do the job. KS state supreme court voided that portion of the law.
Second, the dems have to replace the resigning candidate. The court ignored that part of the law.
The rule of law is dead in KS.
Per this link, he is required to either be dead or declare “they are incapable of fulfilling the duties of office”.
Taylor isn’t dead.
And he can’t declare he is incapable of fulfilling the duties of the office - because he is a sitting DA, and apparently capable of fulfilling those duties.
So he just demanded his name be withdrawn.
In that case, who will be the Democrat nominee? The same law that allows withdrawal requires he be replaced on the ballot.
