-- As I read our Revised Statutes the Secretary of State and the Attorney General have to address challenges to a candidate's qualifications based on the Constitution or NRS. --

Heh. You'll run into the legal reality that when you vote in the general, you vote for an elector. Don;t let 'em off the hook with that, you are voting in a primary, which is run directly on the candidates. There is no "elector" (of the electoral college) interposed between you and the candidate in a primary.

If the state's election resources are being used to conduct the election, the state has an interest.

The roadblock put up by these officials is that they are not competent to render a ruling, out of their jurisdiction, etc.

So, back to public notice using Rogers v. Bellei. Cruz is easily shown to be unqualified (the same as if he was a 13 year old, would they let a 13 year old run?). Now they KNOW he is not qualified, and they choose to do nothing about it. Abdication of duty. Total disregard for the public. Enabling and endorsing a falsehood.

I don’t expect anything from my SofS or the Attorney General. Especially since my AG endorses Cruz. I do hope though that they will go on record to me as to their stands. I really hope that a letter to the editor will at least make some people question it.
