Idaho court to hear election challenge

COEUR d'ALENE - The election challenge suit over the 2009 Coeur d'Alene general election will go before the Idaho Supreme Court at 11:10 a.m. Sept. 19 at the Kootenai County Courthouse.

The case, Jim Brannon v. City of Coeur d'Alene, was filed after the 2009 November election by Brannon on grounds that inadmissible votes led to City Council incumbent Mike Kennedy's then 5-vote victory over the challenger.

First District Judge Charles Hosack upheld the election in September 2010 after tossing three illegal votes, leaving Kennedy with a three vote victory over Brannon.

After Hosack's decision, Brannon appealed to the Idaho Supreme Court.
