(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Other counties have recently taken positions and paid for recounts,” said Jim Zay, a Republican who supported the resolution. “Macon County did so and overturned the sheriff’s race.” But member Greg Hart, one of the seven to sign on to the resolution, pulled his support on Tuesday. While Hart said Grogan has every right to pursue his challenge in court, “the burden of proof is always on the petitioner.”)
