Clock Running On Brannon Appeal

Judge Charles Hosack has signed his decision against plaintiff Jim Brannon in Brannon's challenge to the 2009 municipal election in which he lost to incumbent Mike Kennedy by 3 votes. Hosack signed the order for his ruling for Kennedy Thursday. Which means that Brannon now has 10 working days to file an appeal, a date estimated by Kennedy's attorney Scott Reed to be Nov. 15. During the trial that lasted from Sept 13-18, Hosack disallowed 3 Kennedy votes and 1 Brannon vote to reduce the margin of victory for Kennedy from 5 on election night to the final margin of 3. Hosack decision here.

Question: Do you think Brannon will appeal Hosack's decision to the Idaho Supreme Court?
