Judge reverses McBee MEC eecision

Judge Roger Henderson of the Court of Common Pleas in Chesterfield County has overturned the decision of the McBee Municipal Election Commission to order a new election that would have superseded the results of the McBee Town Council election of Sept. 1.

Henderson wrote in the court document, “It is ordered that the order of the MEC is reversed and the MEC is ordered to declare Glenn Odom, James Linton, and Robbie Liles are elected as Mayor and Councilmen (respectively).”

Because Odom is a sitting council member, a special election will be necessary to fill that vacant seat. After their installation Odom, Linton and Liles will join council member Kemp McLeod on McBee Town Council, pending any appeal.
