PHOENIX  — A federal judge refused late Thursday to remove the names of nine candidates the Green Party disavows as its own from the general election ballot.

But they still may not get to run for office.

U.S. District Court Judge David Campbell said he cannot say just yet whether the nine contenders are “sham” candidates as the Green Party alleges. And the judge said he’s not sure that gives him the power to stop them from running as official nominees just because party officials object to their views.
