http://live.kscourts.org/live.php#This is to get the Dem off the ballot for Senate in Kansas so the Independent can beat the Repub and keep the 'pubs from taking control of The Sentae in November
So far it sounds like a very Republican court. . .

is saying that since he cited the statute that allows for his dropping out, by that citation he fulfills the requirements of the statute.
Also claims that there is no provision for the refusal of the request
