"Indiana Election Committee Removes GOP Candidate from Senate Primary Ballot"
TL;DR
The Indiana Election Commission unanimously removed Republican U.S. Senate candidate John Rust from the primary ballot due to his voting history, leaving U.S. Rep. Jim Banks as the sole GOP candidate. The state Supreme Court rejected Rust's legal challenge to the law barring his candidacy. Rust had sued over Indiana's requirement that candidates must have voted in their party's past two primaries or received approval from a county party chair to appear on the ballot. Rust plans to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, while Banks, endorsed by the state GOP and former President Donald Trump, continues his campaign for the Senate seat.
