A Missouri candidate for governor with reported ties to the Ku Klux Klan will remain on the ballot despite his own party’s efforts to oust him, a state judge has ruled.
The state’s Republican party sued to stop Darrell McClanahan from appearing on the GOP primary ballot this August. The Missouri GOP initially accepted him into the party but later denounced Mr McClanahan after discovering photos of him making the Nazi salute, the Associated Press reports.
