    Breaking: In #KSSEN Candidate Replacement Case, KS Supreme Court
    Kicks Case Back to Lower Court, Delaying Consideration

The Kansas Supreme Court has just issuedthis order. 
<http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/112487Order.pdf> The 
plaintiff seeks to force Democrats to choose a successor to Chad Taylor 
in the race for U.S. Senate. The Kansas Supreme Court allowed Taylor's 
name to be removed from the ballot.  In an earlier analysis,I explained 
<http://electionlawblog.org/?p=65672>that this new case has little 
chance of succeeding on the merits.

In today's order, the Kansas Supreme Court  sends the case to a lower 
court to take evidence, and consider various barriers to mandamus 
relief, including ripeness, standing, and other concerns.

The effect of this order is to delay things beyond the point at which it 
would make sense for Democrats to put a name on the ballot. That is, by 
the time the issue would get back to the Supreme Court, ballots may have 
been printed.

Democrats had been hoping to run out the clock in this case, and this is 
a big order helping that cause.

    "Wisconsin Poll Watcher Militia' plans to confront Scott Walker
    recall petition signers at polls" <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=65766>

    A self-described militia group claims to be checking names on the
    2012 Scott Walker recall petition and plans to confront those found
    to have outstanding warrants or tax defaults at the polls on Nov. 4.

    "We prefer our people be armed," reads a Facebook post by Wisconsin
    Poll Watcher Militia, screen captured on a blog at Politicususa.com
    <http://www.politicususa.com/2014/09/18/militia-group-plans-target-african-american-democrats-polling-places-wisconsin.html>.
    "Some will be heading to some of Milwaukee, Racine, and Beloit's
    worst areas. We will be armed with a list of people to look for at
    each location."

    The exchange posted on Politicususa continues:

    Patrick Murray: "Just so you are aware, I will not report
    Republicans. Only Democrats."

    Wisconsin Poll Watcher Militia: "We will be targeting heavy democrat
    districts, so it is doubtful this will even be an issue."
