Millionaire casino executive and former beauty queen Sue Lowden had been the leader in the 12-way primary to determine which Republican will run against Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. Then she said:

I’m telling you that this works… Before we all started having health care, in the olden days our grandparents, they would bring a chicken to the doctor… that’s the old days of what people would do to get health care… I’m not backing down from that system.

The Democrats set up a Chickens for Checkups website. Lowden denied the comment saying it was taken out of context. And now state election officials have banned chicken costumes from within 100 feet of Nevada polling places.
