Rosalind Kurita's Stolen Election Lawsuit Thrown Out

Sen. Rosalind Kurita suffered a setback this afternoon in her bid to regain the Democratic nomination for Tennessee Senate District 22. U.S. District Court Judge Robert Echols rejected her assertions that her name should be placed back on the ballot and that the state law governing primary elections be ruled unconstitutional.

"The state statute allows the State Primary Board the final decision of selecting its party nominee if a primary election is contested,” Echols wrote.

It's expected that she will appeal the decision.
