CARSON CITY — An ethics complaint has been filed against Secretary of State Ross Miller on allegations that he used an online election portal to unfairly gain support for his candidacy for attorney general.
The Web portal was set up by his office for military and overseas civilian voters to participate in the Nov. 4 general election.
The complaint dated Sept. 29 was filed by Kirk Lippold, a retired U.S. Navy commander of the USS Cole who at one point had sought the 2nd Congressional District seat when it became vacant after Dean Heller was appointed to the U.S. Senate. Ultimately he withdrew his candidacy and endorsed fellow Republican Mark Amodei, who won the seat in a special election in 2011.
Lippold said in his complaint that Miller’s name, photograph and title are contained in a banner featured on the Web portal link on the secretary of state’s website and that he is using his position to secure “unwarranted privileges and preferences” in his campaign for attorney general.
