Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen released the following statement on Tuesday on the matter, saying-quote- “Cindy Burbank has submitted the form by the statutory deadline to decline her nomination as the Democratic Party nominee for the U.S. Senate in the November election. We have consulted with the Attorney General’s office. Under Nebraska law, when a candidate has declined a nomination by the deadline, the Secretary of State has no discretion to refuse it. For that reason, Cindy Burbank’s name will not appear on the November ballot as the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. I have advised the Democratic Party of the requirements for substituting another candidate.” Burbank has told state and national news outlets that she would likely bow out and endorse Independent Dan Osborn’s effort to oust incumbent Republican Pete Ricketts.   ...read more read less
