Five years prior to the high-profile 2004 Washington gubernatorial election case, Judge Bridges presided over another trial in which he voided an election result.[1] On December 29, 1999, Bridges invalidated the certified results of the November 2, 1999 Wenatchee, WA mayoral elections, because the certified winner, Gary Schoessler, did not meet the residency requirements for candidacy.[2] The case had been brought by two local ministers, Sanford Brown and Kel Groseclose. Bridges' decision was upheld by the Washington Supreme Court in a unanimous decision on April 20, 2000.[3]
