A Michigan judge, Cynthia Lane, has settled a legal battle over who could pick a replacement candidate for a vacant state House seat, ruling only 10 local Republican committee members — not all 92 — were eligible to vote, rejecting the party’s push for a larger pool. Hours later, those 10 members chose former state Representative Pam Hornberger, who won 6 of 10 votes, to run for the 63rd District seat this November, replacing Jay DeBoyer, who left to join the GOP governor’s ticket.
