Judge nixes Bennett’s election appeal

Incumbent’s failure to file candidacy central to decision

Superior Court Judge J. Kelly Brooks dismissed last week the appeal of Sheinita Bennett to overturn her disqualification by the Ware County Board of Elections and Registration as a candidate for Waycross City Commission District 2.

Brooks, in his ruling filed Monday evening, October 6, said his dismissal was centered on one undisputed fact in the case.
