Reply #25: With regard to Tataii v. Case and jurisdiction [View All]

[eomer]

There was a complaint proceeding before the state supreme court at the same time that there was an election contest pending in the House. You can see that from the timeline in my post upstream. The supreme court issued a ruling, as did the House. They were both against Tataii so there was no clash between them that would need to be resolved.

This case is a bit difficult to follow because there were two special elections (one for the remaining term after Patsy Mink died and the other for the next two year term since Patsy Mink was deceased at the time she won the November election) and there were multiple lawsuits. So I tried to extract the events that related directly to the contest in the House, which was about the second special election for the full term. Let me know if I messed up but I'm pretty sure there were parallel proceedings.
