Haley cuts and runs in ballot-gate

Haley surrenders to the rule of law. A spokesman for the governor made clear that he intends on following the decision of the state's highest court. I have to admit I am surprised. I think the threat of the DOJ involvement scared straight the Governor and his Supreme Court.

From WREG-TV:

A majority of justices ruled that a 2000 state law requires all federal races to be near the top of the ballot. But the majority stopped short of ordering Barbour to elevate the Wicker-Musgrove race.

Barbour issued a brief statement: "The Supreme Court has spoken; so be it."

His spokesman, Pete Smith, elaborated by saying "the governor is going to comply with the ruling and the Senate race will go near the top."
