Nevada Secretary of State sues Koch brothers backed conservative group
CARSON CITY — Nevada's top election official is suing Americans for Prosperity, alleging the conservative group violated state election laws by not registering in the state or filing donor contribution reports.
A civil lawsuit filed late Friday by Secretary of State Ross Miller claims the group founded by billionaires Charles and David Koch engaged in "express advocacy" against Kelvin Atkinson, a state Senate candidate who won both the June primary and November general election.
