William Forbes, a former Senate candidate, is suing the Nebraska Democratic Party after nominee Cindy Burbank abruptly dropped out, paving the way for independent Dan Osborn. Forbes argues the party knowingly set up Burbank’s exit to avoid a real Democratic candidate on the ballot, violating state law that requires a replacement nominee if a primary candidate withdraws. The Secretary of State has confirmed the vacancy and mandated a replacement by September 1, adding urgency. Forbes is demanding a court order forcing the party to act quickly, while the Democratic Party remains silent on the matter.
