Lawsuit Against State Treasurer Candidate Dropped

{Kentucky}...Fayette County GOP Chairwoman Carol Rogers and activist DeAnna Brangers have dropped a lawsuit challenging Libertarian state treasurer candidate Ken Moellman's right to be on the November 8th ballot. Moellman had turned in far more than the required 5,000 signatures to enter the race as a third-party candidate. The lawsuit claimed that half of the signatures were invalid. Moellman is running against Democratic incumbent Todd Hollenbach and Republican challenger K.C. Crosbie. "The eligibility question will likely involve several weeks of litigation before a final decision is reached," said Crosbie, a Lexington councilwoman. She asserted that Moellman does not meet the eligibility requirements, but said she does "not want the remaining weeks of this campaign to be solely devoted and focused on whether a third-party candidate should be on the ballot."
