Ophelia Ford's Election Overturned

Ophelia Ford's election has been voided with a vote of 26-6. Just now at 4:14pm, Ford has dismissed herself from the Senate Chamber... graciously I might add.

In her closing remarks, she thanked God for the opportunity to serve in the State Senate. She also added that this will be back in court tomorrow. Again, she did so graciously and without anger.

Update: The Tennessean has a story up now with further details.

Update II: Rep. Stacey Campfield has some thoughts to add.
