A Southmoreland School Board member on Friday challenged the results of last month’s primary, claiming the Westmoreland County Election Bureau failed to include an open two-year seat on the ballot.
In a handwritten lawsuit, Catherine Fike asked a judge to set aside results from the Democratic and Republican primaries in which five candidates were nominated to run for four four-year seats this fall.
Fike was re-elected to a four-year board seat in 2019. Her term expires at the end of 2023.
Brian Shipley finished as the top vote-getter in both party primaries. According to Fike’s lawsuit, Shipley in March filed nomination petitions with the county election bureau declaring his candidacy for a two-year seat.
