Shenandoah County school board candidate files election challenge

The November election of a school board member in Shenandoah County who did not disclose a prior felony conviction when filing to run for office has been officially challenged by his opponent. WMRA's Randi B. Hagi reports.

L.M. "Mike" Scheibe II won a seat on the school board last month with 58% of the vote. But, as WMRA previously reported, he pled guilty to a felony in 2004 in Pennsylvania – and did not disclose that conviction on his certificate of candidate qualification.

His opponent, Brent Wilson, filed a challenge to the election's validity in the Shenandoah County Circuit Court on Thursday.

BRENT WILSON: This legal action has nothing to do with politics or personalities or who won. It's about contesting the results to make sure the law was followed in this process.
