But the five-member subcommittee has three newly elected members on it, so who knows how things will go.

Scarborough already lost his appeal to the State Election Commission.

If you didn’t know, Scarborough lost his November 4 run against Peterson Hutto (D) by a 211 vote margin, one that he’s saying was invalid, and he is legally fighting for a revote.
