Questions presented

Whether the Supreme Court of Kentucky may nullify Kentucky's ballot challenge statute, Kentucky Revised Statute (“KRS”) 118.176, and violate Sections 14, 15 and 115 of the Kentucky Constitution.
Whether the Supreme Court of Kentucky may refuse to file and adjudicate two original actions that petition the Court to overrule its decision in Gibson v. Thompson, 336 S.W.3d 81 (Ky. 2011) that arguably nullified KRS 118.176.
