Brannon Deadline Thursday Or Friday

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.
