(WKYT) - A man looking to win the Republican nomination for Kentucky Secretary of State will not be able to have the nickname "Trump" on the ballot. Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate ruled against Carl Nett after the Kentucky Secretary of State's Office claimed the candidate was trying to gain an advantage on the ballot by tying himself to the President, who remains popular in Kentucky, especially among Republicans. Nett is among four Republicans running for Secretary of State in the 2019 primary, and he claimed he was originally told by someone at the office he is seeking that he could have the "Trump" nickname on the ballot. A fellow GOP candidate objected, and it was removed right before the filing deadline. The court ruled Nett doesn't have a legal right to use the nickname, and his constitutional rights aren't being violated. It also stated in the ruling that Nett has only used the nickname on one of his campaign-related materials.
>A fellow GOP candidate objected, and it was removed right before the filing deadline. nice to see at least somebody retained that much integrity.
Seems reasonable to me
It's so fucking sad that nobody care about how corrupt the president is so long as he plays into their celebration of ignorance and rejection of people who aren't themselves
Nah it's not about integrity, it's about wanting to win the GOP nomination, if it was this dude vs a Democrat they wouldn't give a fuck.
no they didn't, this is like changing your name so that it's alphabetically listed first because people are that dumb that they can't be arsed to read one fucking ballot every 2 fucking years.

And not at all disturbing to see Trump's cult of personality metastasizing into others looking to lure cult voters into punching his ballot because his name encorporates the Holy Name.
