The bipartisan Indiana Election Commission has voted unanimously to remove one of two Republican U.S. Senate candidates from the primary ballot
"They're trying to keep me off the ballot because I'm not under their control. They're looking for a stooge."
U.S. Senate hopeful John Rust will be kept off the GOP primary ballot in May, while former president Donald Trump has secured his spot against Republican challenger Nikki Haley.
Shortly after the decision was announced Rust released a statement on Twitter saying that if necessary he plans to appeal this ruling.
The bipartisan Indiana Election Commission voted unanimously Tuesday to remove one of two Republican U.S. Senate candidates from the primary ballot, and the state Supreme Court rejected his legal challenge to the law barring his candidacy. The decision to remove John Rust from the ballot leaves U.S. Rep. Jim Banks as the only GOP candidate for the seat. Rust had sued state officials over Indiana's law requiring that candidates must have voted in their party's past two primaries or received the approval of a county party chair in order to appear on the primary ballot.
