A St. Louis County judge on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit contesting the November general election filed by Paul Berry III, the Republican who lost the race for county executive to Democratic incumbent Sam Page. Representing himself, Berry had asked for the election to be overturned and a new election be held.
County Circuit Judge David Vincent dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, which means it cannot be refiled, and is requiring Berry to pay court costs.
In the ruling, Vincent wrote, “… [T]his Court is not firmly convinced that the alleged irregularities affected the outcome of the 2020 General Election and therefore Contestee Sam Page’s motion to dismiss is granted and sustained. Contestant Paul Berry, III’s first amended petition is dismissed with prejudice at Contestant’s costs.”
