Nevada: Angle files suit for re-primary

The Reno Gazette-Journal reports: Reno Assemblywoman Sharron Angle filed papers Tuesday asking a judge to order a new Republican primary election in the 2nd Congressional District.

Angle is contesting her defeat in Washoe District Court, despite the urging of U.S. Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., to drop her effort.

In court papers, Angle attorneys Joel and Jonathan Hansen cite 17 reasons for nullification, including a lack of training for election workers, polling-place workers not showing up on time or not at all and registered Republicans not being given Republican ballots.

Secretary of State Dean Heller defeated Angle by 421 votes in the Aug. 15 primary and is campaigning against Democrat Jill Derby. -- RGJ.com: Angle asks judge for new election
