For Those Keeping Score At Home …

Kootenai County Clerk Dan English will serve as a private subject matter expert for the Janie Ward-Engelking team Thursday, according to Dustin Hurst/Idaho Reporter. Democrat Ward-Engelking, as you may recall, lost her House District 18 race to Republican Julie Ellsworth by 9 votes, 6429 to 6420. Ward-Engelking has sent requested a recount.  Dustin reports that English is traveling to Boise at the expense of Engelking. More here.

Question: Given all the hoops that County Clerk Dan English successfully jumped through in the Jim Brannon lawsuit, do you think he's qualified to be a private expert witness in this recount?
