The House Election Contest Board has gaveled in. #kyga19
And true to form, GOP-led committee takes a recess out of the gate #kyga19
Attorney for DJ Johnson notes they got involved in the recount ordered last weekend, having the local elections board reconsider a ballot they had ruled on already. That one ballot produced a “tie”. #kyga19
Attorney for DJ Johnson says he’s “willing to accept” whatever the outcome is today, despite not accepting the original certified result or the rulings of the local election board last weekend. #kyga19
Anna Whites, attorney for Rep. Jim Glenn, points out attorneys for DJ Johnson and Johnson himself intervened in the recount process when they shouldn’t have. #kyga19
Whites: “this has been a partisan process the entire time. We have the open records showing attorneys for the speaker asking candidates if they want to challenge election results... and the taxpayers paid for it.” #kyga19
Whites: The recount was not a tie when the votes were recounted. Only when the absentee ballots, which had traveled all over the state and which officials could not be sure weren’t tampered with, did a “tie” occur. #kyga19
Whites: Mr. Glenn was elected and seated, he will not accept a coin flip. “You cannot impeach Rep. Glenn with a coin flip.” #kyga19
Chairman Petrie wants another off the record recess. #kyga19
DJ Johnson wants to “respect the authority” of the House Election Challenge Board — despite not respecting the local board of elections, the state board of elections. Probably because the Challenge Board has a majority of Republicans on it. #kyga19
DJ Johnson is withdrawing his challenge to Jim Glenn’s election!!! #kyga19
Motion was accepted. The challenge is withdrawn. Rep. Glenn remains the elected winner of District 13. #kyga19
