This race isn't over yet, as the vote canvas (which will rule on any provisional ballots) takes place on Monday.
That being said, talk of the Speaker not allowing Coleman to be seated if he wins is honestly a bit much. The power to expel ought not be expansive enough to empower the State House to simply disregard the will of Coleman's electorate, however distasteful the State House may find his previous conduct, because Coleman's constituents still chose to elect him despite knowing about his actions. The State House needs to respect that if they respect, y'know, the idea of democracy.
Very much agree.
Certainly doesn't speak well to me about Frownfelter's campaign that he's having this much trouble with a high school dropout with the questionable conduct & comments of Coleman. Would the seat just be vacant for a couple more months?
