in the political party (1) who are presented by petition of their supporters
to be party candidates for President of the United States or (2) who have
been determined by the Secretary of State to be generally advocated or recognized
as candidates in national news media throughout the United States shall be

(2) of section 32-720 .
If a person
does not want his or her name on the Nebraska primary election ballot, he
or she shall, by March 10 of the presidential election year, execute and file
an affidavit with the Secretary of State stating without qualification that
he or she is not now and does not intend to become a candidate for office

or any other state. If a presidential candidate files such affidavit removing
his or her name and subsequently becomes a presidential candidate in another
state, the candidate's affidavit in Nebraska shall be purged and shall have
no force and effect. The Secretary of State shall then place such candidate's
name on the primary election ballot.
