In a decision that appears to flout Nevada election law, a Las Vegas judge has nullified the results of a Republican primary election.

Jason Burke defeated Mack Miller by 122 votes in the June 12 primary for state Assembly District 5, but a judge declared Miller “the rightful winner of the election” because Burke did not file campaign finance reports in time.

“This is certainly a novel case that I haven’t seen before,” said Las Vegas attorney Daniel Stewart, who specializes in Nevada election law. “But no two election contests are the same, and it seems like every election cycle there’s a new set of facts, new wrinkles to these disputes, but they always pose significant legal and constitutional questions that are difficult to unravel.”

Screw that! Change the rules of impeachment to only elected officials. Appointed judges should be fired at any time if found in violation of their oath.

Great comment! Now print it out and tape it up all over town.

That is great history; much appreciated and bookmarked for references.

Yet it does not answer the question, about where does the law say a candidate cannot run unopposed.

“And the winner, as a result of a disqualification...”

Yet it does not answer the question, about where does the law say a candidate cannot run unopposed.

My point is that no law says that... but the Dems have been able to enforce it through the courts.
