County Clerk Dan English told Huckleberries Online a few minutes ago that challenger Jim Brannon has until closing time Thursday or Friday morning to put up cash to continue his election challenge -- some $45,000 for a bond and cash to pay for documentation he's requested. Last Tuesday, Judge Benjamin Simpson gave Brannon and his attorney, Starr Kelso, a judicial week to meet that requirement to continue the lawsuit. A judicial week is seven business days and doesn't begin counting until the day after the order. So Brannon has at least three more full days to put up or ... get on with his life. BTW, he also could appeal the amounts set by Simpson.
