On May 5, the Nevada Republican Party filed a lawsuit in state district court in Carson City, over whether the September 2011 special U.S. House election should have partisan nominees or not. Nevada has never before had a special U.S. House election. The rules are unclear, and the Secretary of State, who is a Democrat, had determined earlier this week that the election should be conducted as though the office is non-partisan, except that each candidate would have a label on the ballot, indicating his or her party (as determined by voter registration records).
The lawsuit argues that it is clearly the intent of the legislature that special U.S. House elections, just as regularly-scheduled U.S. House elections, are partisan elections in which parties nominate candidates. If the lawsuit wins, the qualified parties will nominate by convention or caucus, under their own rules, because the law says there should be no primaries in special congressional elections. The case is Nevada Republican Party v State of Nevada, 11-oc-00147.
Gee – once again the party hack MORONS in a State regime do not have basic laws — in this case for filling U.S.A. Rep. vacancies
U.S.A. Const. Art. I, Sec. 2, para. 4 —
When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.
Do the Feds have to enact a TOTAL election code and totally wipe out the States regarding election laws — due to the MORONS in the State regimes ???
See the earlier 2000 Florida regime MORONS – legislative, executive and judicial – in 2000 Bush v. Gore — NO definition of a legal vote with the various voting systems — e.g. in the infamous punch card voting system.
Punch cards for voting – now dead. RIP.
See the HAVA law – U.S.A.
Morons go on and on.
