Former Youngstown mayoral candidate Sean McKinney’s lawsuit alleging voter fraud in November’s election has been handed over to a visiting judge.
Visiting Judge Patricia A. Cosgrove will preside over the case, court officials said.
McKinney lost the election to Mayor-elect Jamael Tito Brown by 201 votes, but cited alleged irregularities in a lawsuit filed in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.
The case initially landed on Judge John M. Durkin’s docket, but the judge recused himself citing a conflict of interest.
A hearing has not yet been scheduled.
