Not long ago Jim Brannon was alleging Kootenai County voting irregularities in a lawsuit contesting an election loss. Now he oversees the elections division and is running to keep his seat as county clerk. His opponent, Larry Belmont, is a former longtime director of the Panhandle Health District who says he wants to give Democrats a reason to vote in a state dominated by the GOP. Brannon was appointed clerk in December after the sudden death of Cliff Hayes, the former Post Falls police chief who was elected county clerk in 2010, defeating 15-year incumbent Dan English. Brannon in 2009 narrowly lost election to the Coeur d’Alene City Council, and he sued the city, the mayor and City Council, English and the county elections manager, alleging various voting irregularities. He lost on appeal to the Idaho Supreme Court in November 2012/Scott Maben, SR. More here.

Question: Do you think Brannon's legal fight to overturn his election loss to Mike Kennedy resonates at all any more?
