Legislative Candidates Withdraw From Races

{Frankfort, Kentucky}...More than 20 candidates dropped out of legislative races Monday, just days after the Kentucky Supreme Court issued a ruling Friday that legislative candidates had to run in decade-old districts instead of newly drawn ones that were deemed unconstitutional. That left some candidates in violation of residency requirements because they lived in the newly drawn districts. Secretary of State Alison Lundergan encouraged ineligible candidates to withdraw so their names won't appear on the ballots. By the close of business Monday afternoon, 25 candidates had withdrawn, and more are expected to do so in coming days.
