Two staffers from Dan Osborn’s Senate campaign secretly joined the Legal Marijuana NOW Party’s executive board last year, not to support cannabis reform—but to sabotage rival candidates by ensuring no easy replacements could step in if a nominee dropped out. Their goal? To shrink the field for Osborn’s independent bid against Senator Pete Ricketts, hoping a less crowded ballot would boost his chances in a tight race. The scheme unraveled when the party chairman discovered the staffers’ true motives, blocked their dissolution attempt, and the state rejected the paperwork. Critics call it a brazen abuse of election law, while Osborn denies any involvement, insisting he’s just an independent fighting for reform—not a political puppet master.
