The Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller issued what I view as a confusing directive on the question.  I blogged about it here:

I blogged about a less ambiguous case of apparent lawmaking by a Congressional candidate in Florida here:

In that post I asked a similar question:  where's the DOJ on this one?

I saw this news from CT and wondered if there's been either (1) any support for the charges of 'thanks for voting' give-aways in Nevada and (2) any DoJ intervention in NV similar to what's been done in CT?

 

"WWE Chief Executive Vince McMahon has dropped his company’s plan to give away merchandise at some Nutmeg State polling locations, according to the Connecticut Post, after a receiving a letter Monday from the Justice Department."

Just curious. I don't have any evidence or involvement in either state.
