U.S. SENATE NOMINEE CINDY BURBANK MIGHT HAVE TO SUE TO GET HER NAME OFF THE GENERAL ELECTION BALLOT

LINCOLN — Cindy Burbank may have to sue the state again if she wants to remove her name from Nebraska’s November Senate ballot after winning the Democratic primary. Mike Hilgers confirmed that Bob Evnen has asked for legal guidance on whether he can keep Burbank on the ballot even if she formally withdraws after the election is certified on June 8.

Burbank has said she plans to drop out to avoid splitting votes with independent candidate Dan Osborn in the race against Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts. The race drew national attention after accusations that both Democratic primary candidates were “planted” to help either Osborn or Ricketts, allegations both campaigns denied. If Evnen refuses to remove Burbank from the ballot, another court fight is expected ahead of the Nov. 3 general election.
