DescriptionOn September 3, 2014 Democratic nominee Chad Taylor dropped out in favor of Independent Greg Orman.

Greg Orman says he will caucus with whichever party wins a majority in the Senate in 2014.

Partisan GOP Secretary of State is not allowing Taylor's name off the ballot. The ruling is being challenged.
