The required $15,000 bond to move forward in the case of Lee Whittenburg vs Matthew Leveridge and the Kentucky Board of Elections was not posted by Friday’s deadline.
WJRS News learned the required funds had not been deposited by the end of day Friday, which was required to move forward with the case, as Whittenburg was requesting a recount and Kentucky law requires that Whittenburg would fund the cost of a recount.
At the bond hearing earlier this month, Circuit Judge Sara Beth Gregory said she would expect a motion to dismiss if the bond wasn’t posted by the deadline.
Court dockets show a hearing is expected in the case on Tuesday, August 6 at 8 a.m.
