Vern Gavin v. Wanda Evers

Summary

The court affirmed the circuit court’s rulings rejecting Gavin’s election-contest claims and determining that Evers satisfied the applicable residency requirement. It held that Gavin received adequate notice of the summary-judgment hearing, that the exclusion of hearsay evidence was proper, and that Gavin failed to present evidence showing that any irregularity affected the election outcome. The court also upheld the denial of reconsideration because the proposed new evidence was cumulative and primarily impeaching.
