2014 Columbia Mayoral litigation advances at Supreme Court

Discretionary review sent out for assignment at Kentucky Supreme Court on Wednesday, January 27, 2016

By Ed Waggener

The disputed November 4, 2016 Columbia Mayoral Election has advanced in the judicial process.

The latest status posted at the Kentucky Court of Justice website, in the case is that the request for a discretionary review of a ruling by a three judge panel in the Kentucky Supreme court with the case being sent out for assignment.



The date and name of the Supreme Court Justice who will hear the case has not yet been posted.

On April 17, 2015, Adair Circuit Court Judge Judy Vance ruled that the election was void and ordered a new election. The Adair County Board of Elections appealed the ruling and a three judge Court of Appeals panel voted 2-1 to reverse Judge Vance, and later, on September 11, 2015, denied a petition to re-hear the case.

On December 22, 2015, Attorney Elmer George entered a motion for a discretionary review by the Kentucky Supreme Court.

In a special meeting of Adair County Fiscal Court, in January, the Adair County Board of Elections request for continued financial support for its legal bills in the case resulted in a tie vote, and the request failed.

The Adair County Board of Elections voted to continue the action and filed a response to the request for discretionary review on January 19, 2016.
