The General Assembly is scheduled to convene Jan. 10, but Thomas isn’t in the clear just yet.

In a pending lawsuit, Democrats have asked a federal court to block Thomas from being seated in the House due to major voting problems that affected the 28th District. State election officials have said at least 147 voters in and around the 28th District cast ballots in the wrong House election after receiving the wrong ballot. The lawsuit, currently scheduled for a hearing Jan. 5, asks the court to throw out the result and order a special election.

“This fight is not over until every vote is cast and counted in the proper district,” Cole said in a statement.

With all recounts now concluded, the 94th District was the only one that produced a significant change.

Though it appeared Simonds had squeaked her way to a one-vote victory, Yancey’s lawyers asked a three-judge panel to accept one ballot that had been tossed out as an overvote. The voter had filled in bubbles for both Yancey and Simonds, but had put a slash through the Simonds bubble, which the court interpreted as intent to vote for Yancey.
