Five of eight justices on the State Supreme Court will recuse from hearing a case over the canceled election for one of their colleagues’ seat, according to an announcement Monday.

The three remaining justices will hear appeals by former U.S. Rep. John Barrow and former state Rep. Beth Beskin, who want to reinstate the canceled election for Justice Keith Blackwell’s seat. Barrow and Beskin both sought to run for Blackwell’s post but were denied that opportunity when the secretary of state canceled the election at the governor’s request.
