Tea Party of Nevada candidate will remain on General Election ballot - Las Vegas Clark County Elections 2010 | Examiner.com

Tea Party of Nevada candidate for US Senate Scott Ashjian (T-NV) will remain on the November General Election ballot.

Tim Fasano a candidate for US Senate with the Independent American Party (IAP) filed a law suit last summer to have Scott Ashjian’s named removed from the General Election ballot saying that at the time Ashjian filed to represent the Tea Party of Nevada as its candidate for US Senate, he was still registered as a Republican.

District Judge James T. Russell ruled in favor of Ashjian, but IAP filed an appeal. The appeal has not been ruled on yet, but according to Secretary of State Ross Miller, Nevada laws dictates that “no change may be made to the ballot” after 5 pm on the first Tuesday after the primary election. The Nevada Primary was held on June 8th of this year, which would mean that on June 15th no further changes could be made.

Miller also said that more than 2000 absentee ballots were mailed and 500 ballots have already been completed and mailed back.
