A Missouri gubernatorial candidate with ties to the Ku Klux Klan will remain on the Republican ballot following a judge's ruling. Judge Cotton Walker shot down a request by the Missouri GOP to disqualify Darrell McClanahan, who has publicly acknowledged his white supremacist affiliations. Despite state GOP party leaders expressing their desire to distance themselves from McClanahan, the court decision allows him to continue his campaign. McClanahan has claimed to have received an 'honorary one-year membership' to the KKK.
