LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville Rep. Nima Kulkarni has won her latest fight to stay on the ballot in the November election.
A judge in Frankfort rejected her primary opponent's attempt to have her removed from the ballot for a second time.
Kulkarni, a Democrat, won 80% of the votes over William Zeitz in the primary election for the District 40 seat in the Statehouse. But the Kentucky Supreme Court tossed the results, disqualifying Kulkarni due to a problem on her candidate filing paperwork.
No Republicans ran in the race, so Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams declared a vacancy. That allowed each party to submit a new nominee for November. Democrats re-nominated the incumbent, Kulkarni.
Zeitz filed a lawsuit last week to block the nomination, but that effort failed Monday.
