Report: Judge Rules Against Both Alston, Hall
Both were vying for the same seat in the Maryland House of Delegates amid much controversy, NBC reports.
After weeks of controversy surrounding a Prince George's County delegate seat, neither former Delegate Tiffany Alston or county businessman Greg Hall will represent the 24th district in Maryland House of Delegates.
A Prince George's County judge has ruled against both Alston and Hall, NBC reported.
Alston lost her seat after striking a plea bargain in October on charges of using campaign money to help pay for her wedding, but she contended that she was still eligible to serve.

Hall had been nominated to replace Alston, but last week, at the request of Governor Martin O'Malley, the Democratic Central Committee held a voice vote to recind their nomination of Hall after O'Malley learned of his troubled past.
The committee has now lost the ability to appoint a replacement for Alston, but today's decision will allow them to make suggestions for filling the open seat, according to NBC.
