William Forbes, a Nebraska Democrat who lost the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate this year, is suing the Nebraska Democratic Party in state court to force it to name a replacement nominee. The original nominee, who had won the primary, Ciindy Burbank, has withdrawn. She withdrew because a strong independent, Dan Osborn, is given a chance to win the election and his chances are thought to be enhanced if no Democrat is on the ballot. The hearing is July 29 at 3 p.m. in Lancaster County district court.
