As for him confirming that the DA will come up to vote, it is a very risky move, it may seem to cost him the election, but his opponent already has many controversial ads against him and his stance on immigration, might as well accept them as fact, attack substance of the ads that are too extreme from what would actually be the case and hope that because the ads are very controversial it will end up hurting the opponent more then it hurts him.

I really don't know but this stance really churns the waters, its risky but could work, and it peaks my interest in the Nevada election. Its just good news to hear that the DA will come up in lame duck, I am hoping this means as a stand alone and not only an attachment to the CIR.
