On the morning of June 28, the Nevada Supreme Court heard arguments in Nevada State Democratic Party v Nevada Republican Party, 58404. Here is a short newspaper article about the argument. This is the case over whether the upcoming special U.S. House election should be handled as a partisan election or a non-partisan election. Nevada has never before had a special election for U.S. House, so there are no precedents in the state. The election law is unclear. UPDATE: this Las Vegas Review-Journal story suggests the Democratic Party is somewhat likely to win the lawsuit. At least one justice, and plausibly two, seem leaning against deeming the election to be partisan.
Huh? Of course it should be a partisan election. It’s a special election to the U.S. House of Representatives, which is partisan, period. Duh.
Fill legislator vacancies by candidate/incumbent rank order lists — NO more very expensive MORON special elections with LOW voter turnouts.
