Write-in Ros: It’s On, Son

By Kleinheider Posted on September 15, 2008 at 12:10 pm

Post Politics has confirmed that Senator Rosalind Kurita has indeed filed, in each county of the 22nd State Senate district, a certificate of write-in candidacy. Senator Rosalind Kurita will be an official write-in candidate for reelection to the seat she now holds.

Her name will not be on the ballot but any registered voter in the district will be able to cast their vote to keep Rosalind Kurita in the Tennessee state Senate regardless of what a  tri-county convention, tasked by the Tennessee Democratic Party Executive committee to resolve “incurable uncertainties” in the election, decides.

When asked by Post Politics why she took this unusual step, Senator Rosalind Kurita responded, “I think it’s obvious why this step was necessary. This is America. You don’t just let someone steal an election.”

Kurita credits supporters with helping her recognize what she needed to do.

“I received so many calls and messages of support since Saturday, it has really been overwhelming,” Kurita explains. “So many people I know have called and told me, ‘You’re a fighter, Rosalind, fight this.’ So that’s what I’m doing.”
