尼布拉斯加州最高法院裁定民主党候选人马克·马丁内兹可以继续参加选举, The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled that Mark Martinez, the Democratic candidate for Douglas County sheriff, can remain on the ballot, rejecting claims he lacked a valid law enforcement certification. 由威廉·卡塞尔大法官领导的法院认定，州法律并不要求“有效”证书，只需候选人拥有一份证书，这使得马丁内斯——前奥马哈警察和美国法警——得以继续参选。 The court, led by Justice William Cassel, determined that state law does not require an "active" certificate, only that candidates possess one, allowing Martinez—former Omaha police officer and U.S. Marshal—to stay in the race. 作为唯一的民主党候选人, 马丁内斯将在没有初选的情况下进入大选. As the sole Democratic candidate, Martinez will advance to the general election without a primary. 现任共和党警长阿伦·汉森也将在11月面对他. Incumbent Republican Sheriff Aaron Hanson will also face him in November. 由于道格拉斯县选举专员的初步失资, 法院认为这与法律的简单语言不一致. The decision resolves a dispute sparked by the Douglas County Election Commissioner’s initial disqualification, which the court called inconsistent with the law’s plain language.
