Special election to replace Nevada Rep. Dean Heller open to all comers

[clearvision]

Los Angeles Times:

Throwing Nevada's special congressional election into a wide-open competition, the state's chief election officer announced Monday that the ballot would be available to any candidate interested in pursuing the seat.

“This interpretation allows open ballot access, freedom for all to run and ultimately it lets the people decide,” Secretary of State Ross Miller (D) said at a news conference in Carson City. “That structure is as American as apple pie.”

Democrats, who have never held the seat in its 30-year history, hoped for a crowded field, which could have the potential of splintering the GOP vote. Republicans wanted to narrow the competition and place the nominating process in the hands of party insiders, who signaled their intention to pass over Sharron Angle, who is already running for the seat.

Just throw 2 or 3 R's and 1 Dem on the ballot and see what happens.
