Election contest committees banned and hearings set
Five election contest committees have been banned four in the House and one in the Senate. The Senate committee rejected two motions to dismiss Blythe Conn s contest against state Senator Carl Hoschek. Conn seeks to overturn a November 4 result that Hoschek won by 42 votes. Frank Messer seeks reelection of two Republican Supreme Court justices and has filed an unlimited cast bond with the Secretary of State. The cases involve Justices T G Garfield and Ralph Oliver and a bond originally set at 1000 dollars. Messer s contest hearing is scheduled for next Monday.
