The Providence Journal reported Saturday that Kara Russo, who sought the GOP nomination for Lt. Governor, but was defeated in the party’s primary, has petitioned the Rhode Island Supreme Court to order the Secretary of State to stop printing primary ballots while the Court takes time to review the Board of Elections’ decision denying Russo’s request to force withdrawn candidate Heidi Rogers to represent the party on the ballot in November. Alternatively Russo seeks to be named to the ballot as the party’s nominee.
