Maine’s Supreme Court justices have not yet reached a decision on the case between Kimberly McLaughlin and Melissa Innes.

An official from the clerk’s office said Friday that she is not sure when one will be reached.

The two Democrats from Yarmouth, both vying for a nomination for a House seat, tied on election night, with 485 votes a piece. A hand recount favored Innes by two votes – but one ballot was missing.

Three ballots were disputed between the two candidates, sending the case to the Supreme Court. At a hearing Monday, however, the debate quickly turned to the accuracy level of the optical scan machines versus the accuracy level of a hand count.

At the hearing, Harold Pachios, representing McLaughlin, presented a witness from the University of Iowa who testified that the rate of accuracy of the Diebold optical scan machines is very high, and the likelihood for a ballot to come up short in a hand count is slim.
