There was no word as of late Tuesday from Territorial Court Judge Ishmael Meyers in the lawsuit filed by Sen. George Goodwin against the Board of Elections.
Goodwin had sued the Board after the absentee ballot count in the Nov. 7 election gave Sen. Lorraine Berry the seventh seat, and left Goodwin out of the running. Goodwin had won the seventh seat before the absentee ballots were counted, which put Berry 26 votes ahead of him.
The matter was heard before Meyers in two days of hearings on Wednesday and Thursday.
Meyers' office said Tuesday they were working "diligently and expeditiously" on the matter, but would not set a date for the decision.
