As reported by the Argus Leader: "Secretary of State Chris Nelson and
Attorney General Larry Long are willing to have the challenge from a group
that wants video lottery repealed to bypass the circuit court and head
straight to the state's Supreme Court. "Since the challenge involves an

been asked to rule, even if the case had started in circuit court. "Daniel
Brendtro of Lennox brought the challenge. He led the petition drive to place
video lottery on the ballot."
