Embattled Las Vegas, Nevada, Judge Elizabeth Halverson’s pending disciplinary hearing, now into its 5th day, may soon be strictly academic. The reason: Tuesday is primary election day in Nevada for several state and local offices—including which top two candidates will face off in November for the right to sit on the bench in Halverson’s Department 23 for the next 4 years.
Based on early returns, with 37.16% of precincts reporting, the incumbent jurist is dead last in a field of three—with just over 10% of the vote.
To add insult to the 500 pound jurist’s injury, the early leader of the pack (with just under 60% of the vote) is thin and pretty Stefany Miley (currently a Family Court Judge), followed by Vegas attorney Jason Landess (30%)—who is best known for once losing $2 million at one sitting at the black jack tables, then filing bankruptcy to avoid the debt.
