The Kentucky Supreme Court, says Nimmo.

Carl Carney is out as a candidate for reelection in her state House district because of a filing mistake.

Carney was a candidate for reelection in the Democratic primary in the 40th House District and Jefferson County, May 21st.

William Zeitz was also on the ballot.

Go.

Carney beat him in the primary with 78% of the vote.

But before the primary, a past candidate, Denis Hollander, filed suit saying, Kill Carney's filing paperwork did not have two Democratic witnesses, as the law requires.

The suit said one of the witnesses was a Republican at the time.

A lower court sided with Carney, and appeals court ruled against her.

Yesterday, the Kentucky Supreme Court heard arguments on both sides.

I say let it go, let the voters decide it.

And the voters have clearly decided in this case by 80% of those voting that they want Representative Cole Carney to be their nominee.

No Democrat has ever been able to nominate a Republican.

If you take your argument to the logical conclusion that there is no statute of limitations, which is the filing deadline or the date when the petition is signed, this court will, in effect, will effectively crack open our partizan primary system.

And Republicans can nominate Democrats and Democrats can nominate Republicans.

And today, the state's high court ruled against cole Carney.

This is how the court order reads quote.

Representative Nirupama Kulkarni is disqualified as a candidate in the May 2024 Democratic primary election for the 40th state representative district and, quote, The court says it will release a full opinion later.

So what happens now?

Is there a special election to pick a Democratic nominee?

Does William Zeitz become the nominee?

There is no Republican running in this district because there is now a vacancy in the nomination.

It falls to the Jefferson County Democratic Party and the party officers for the 40th legislative district to nominate a candidate.

Representative Cole Carney told Katie shortly ago that she will seek that nomination and is eligible for it.

Morgan Eaves, executive director of the Kentucky Democratic Party, told Katie, quote, The court will render an opinion telling us what the next steps are in quote.
