The Kanawha County Republican Executive Committee will not be able to name a replacement candidate for Suzette Raines on the ballot after the Elections Committee took no action in a meeting Wednesday.
Raines withdrew from the District 35 race Monday. She said she needed time to heal after her mother's death in March.
The state Democratic Executive Committee filed a complaint against Raines in Kanawha County Circuit Court on July 21. The complaint alleged Raines doesn't live where she claims.
It also alleged that Raines hasn't filed several campaign finance reports or a financial disclosure report, and didn't sign previous disclosures.
