NRSC to Nevada SOS: What happens if Berkley withdraws from the U.S. Senate race?

Wednesday, July 11, 2012 | 11:05 a.m.

UPDATE: SOS Ross Miller says NRSC is right. Letter posted at right.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee has asked Secretary of State Ross Miller to confirm that Nevada law mandates Rep. Shelley Berkley must stay on the ballot even if she withdraws because of ethics problems.

I see almost no chance that Berkley will get out of the race. But the very fact that the NRSC sent the letter shows just how far the GOP folks will go to keep this story alive from now until November.

It is posted at right.
