Brannon: ‘I’m Not A Sore Loser’

Five months after voters cast their ballots, election results for Coeur d’Alene’s City Council Seat #2 are still in dispute. Incumbent Mike Kennedy beat opponent Jim Brannon by five votes so now Brannon is turning to the court hoping a district judge will order a new election. Brannon says his challenge is not about losing or winning or even the city council seat at this point. Brannon claims he continues to fight to ensure a fair electoral process but not everyone agrees. “I’m not a sore loser, it’s not about who won, its way past that, it’s about the process,” Brannon said. Brannon insists he’s not a sore loser after losing the closest race Coeur d’Alene has seen in decades, but instead of requesting a recount Brannon filed a lawsuit instead/ Tania Dall , KXLY.

Question: At this point, do you think Jim Brannon is a sore loser? Or do you think that his lawsuit is about fixing a flawed process?
