Damon Roberts will be on ballot despite dropping out of race

The Board of Elections' Tim Dowling informed CP that 2nd Council District candidate Damon K. Roberts will appear on the ballot in this primary election, despite having announced his intention to drop out of the race a few days ago and throwing his support behind candidate State Rep. Kenyatta Johnson.

To officially drop out of the race, Roberts needs a court order, which he still hasn't obtained, as far as Dowling knows. 

But according to Dowling, the ballots are sealed and can't be changed, even if he gets the court order  —  "It's impossible," says Dowling.

If Roberts does officially drop out, Dowling says, "There will be a thing on the website saying this candidate was removed by court order," but voters will still be able to push the button for Roberts.

Another question now is whether Roberts will bother to get that court order or not.
