Judge lands Nevada Supreme Court seat after no one else files
By Jane Ann Morrison, Las Vegas Review-Journal
The Nevada Supreme Court had two open seats in this fall’s election. Now there is just one. Abbi Silver, chief judge of the Court of Appeals, was elected outright when no one filed against her.
The other seat drew five candidates, requiring a primary election to whittle them down to two and then a November general election.
Why would one nonpartisan seat draw only one person and the other five?
“I’m a hard worker, end of story,” Silver said.
