Brown Demands Election to be “Certified Without Delay”
The Boston Globe
is reporting that Senator-elect Scott Brown's attorney Dan Winslow "this afternoon sent a letter to Governor Deval Patrick and Secretary of State William Galvin, requesting them to 'certify without delay' the results of the Jan. 19 special election." Galvin completed his certification of the election today and by Massachusetts state law the papers "must be approved by the Governor's Council, and then signed by Galvin and [Gov.] Patrick." Brown's letter says he wants the "results certified no later than 11:00 a.m. Thursday so that he can deliver a copy to the Secretary of the United States Senate in time to be administered the oath of office by Thursday afternoon."
