Two Mercer County towns among Tuesday elections
bramwell — Voters will decide two town elections next week in Mercer County. The elections are set for Tuesday, June 10, in Bramwell and Athens. They are among 77 towns and cities across the Mountain State that hold an election Tuesday. In the town of Athens, the races are uncontested with two candidates vying for two seats on town council, according to Athens Town Clerk Debra Shorter. The candidates are incumbent council member Travis Pace and candidate James Blankenship. Incumbent Athens Mayor Timothy Peak also is running unopposed for re-election. The situation is different in Bramwell where the races for mayor, recorder and town council are all contested. Grant Bennett, the current mayor of Bramwell, is being challenged by former Mayor Louise Stoker and candidate Rodney Holcomb. Susan Lance Troutner, a current town council member, and Lathe Ellis are running for town recorder. Eight candidates are vying for four seats on the Bramwell Town Council, according to Bennett, who was answering the phone Friday at town hall. They include incumbents Jackie Shahan, Dennis Marcello, Charles Hawthorne and Kelley Murphy Eller and candidates Don Thompson, Perry Love, Elizabeth Brown Tillery and Sharon Workman, according to a legal advertisement copy of the ballot published in the Daily Telegraph. In all, 77 towns across West Virginia will hold an election Tuesday, according to West Virginia Secretary of State Kris Warner. Warner said some municipalities with contested races will receive a compliance visit on Election Day from an authorized representative of the Secretary of State's Office. 'My office will have more than a dozen individuals visiting municipal elections throughout the state on Election Day, June 10th,' Warner said in a statement Friday. 'These compliance visits are intended to ensure that polling locations are safe, secure and following the protocols in place to help every interested and eligible voter cast a ballot.' Warner said the visits are educational in nature to assist the clerks or recorders in charge of the elections, as well as the poll workers at each location. Trained members of the Elections Division, the WVSOS Field Team, or the Investigations Division will conduct the compliance visits, according to the Secretary of State's office.

Supreme Court turns away RNC challenge to Pennsylvania ballot ruling
The Supreme Court on Friday turned away the Republican National Committee's (RNC) bid to block Pennsylvania voters' in-person, do-over option when they return a defective mail ballot. The announcement was intended for Monday morning, but the court mistakenly released it early due to what a court spokesperson called an 'apparent software malfunction.' The order leaves in place a 4-3 ruling from Pennsylvania's top court that voters can still cast a vote at their polling place on Election Day if their mail-in ballot was rejected for technical reasons, despite a state law saying such votes 'shall not be counted' if the mail-in ballot was timely received. The additional option impacts thousands of voters each election cycle. The legal battle gained attention just ahead of the 2024 election, when President Trump narrowly beat former Vice President Kamala Harris in the key swing state and went on to retake the White House. Just before the election, the Supreme Court declined the RNC's request to intervene on an emergency basis. Now returning to the high court on its normal docket, the RNC urged the Supreme Court to use its case as a vehicle to more broadly restrict state courts' power over elections. Two years ago, the high court declined to endorse the maximalist version of the 'independent state legislature' theory, which would give state legislatures near-total control over setting federal election rules by preventing state courts from restraining their actions. However, the justices in that decision warned that courts may not 'arrogate to themselves the power vested in state legislatures.' The justices have yet to adopt a specific test to measure when a court crosses that constitutional line, and the RNC cast its petition as a prime opportunity to do so. 'Failure to correct the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's indefensible distortion of the General Assembly's laws would effectively do just that by sending a strong message that judicial review under the Elections and Electors Clauses is illusory. The result would directly contravene the Constitution,' the RNC's attorneys at Jones Day wrote in the petition. The justices' refusal to take up the case comes months after the justices turned away a petition arising from Montana asking them to take up similar issues. The Pennsylvania case arose after Faith Genser and Frank Matis attempted to vote in the state's 2024 Democratic primary. Initially, the duo planned to vote by mail. But they mistakenly returned 'naked' ballots, meaning they didn't include a required secrecy envelope. With their votes invalid, Genser and Matis went to their polling place on the day of the primary election to cast provisional ballots. They sued after the Butler County elections board refused to count those ballots. The RNC's petition was joined by the Republican Party of Pennsylvania and the Butler County Board of Elections.

Northeast Mississippi voters put their faith behind new mayors
TUPELO – At least a half-dozen towns across Northeast Mississippi will have new mayors next month following last week's municipal elections. While voting decided most of the races on Election Day, there are a handful of races that are still in question, including two in Shannon and a Holly Springs contest that could end in a coin toss next week. The incumbent mayors in Amory, Burnsville, Guntown, Taylor and Walnut were all edged out by challengers in the June 3 general election. Charles Terry will be the new leader in Holly Springs. He ousted sitting mayor Sharon Gipson in the Democratic primary, and then defeated a pair of independents last Tuesday. One as-of-yet-decided race will determine the Ward 1 alderman in Holly Springs. Sandra 'Sunshine Lady' Hodges and Kylon Freeman both finished the night with 154 votes. Election officials are waiting to see if there are any absentee ballots returned by mail by the June 10 deadline. If not, by state law the election will be decided by a coin toss or the drawing of lots. There is a similar situation in Shannon. The mayoral race ended with current mayor Paul Lyles holding a slim 151-139 lead over challenger Timothy Tubb. City Clerk Denise Collins said there are 14 affidavit votes to be counted, which could sway the outcome. They are also checking the mail for any absentee ballots. The affidavit votes could also decide the outcome of the Ward 4 Alderman race. In unofficial totals, challenger Darren Young holds a 27-23 advantage over incumbent Charlie Foster.
