| Description | Ex-coal CEO Don Blankenship’s bid to appear on the November ballot in West Virginia's Senate race as a third-party candidate was denied Wednesday by the state’s Supreme Court.
“The West Virginia Secretary of State is ordered to take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that Donald L. Blankenship does not appear on the 2018 General Election Ballot for the Office of United States Senator for the State of West Virginia,” the court wrote in its order.
Blankenship’s lawyers filed a petition earlier this month to the state Supreme Court challenging West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner's decision to block him from running as the Constitution Party’s candidate. |
