Nickelson filed suit in the Caddo district court to seek another election. Judge Joe Bleich, a Democrat, ruled in Nickelson's favor by citing that eleven illegal voters were cast in the election. The state circuit court upheld Bleich's ruling. Whitehorn's subsequent appeal to the Louisiana Supreme Court also failed. A second election will likely be held on March 23, 2024.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/shreveport-attorney-analyzes-la-supreme-court-s-decision-to-deny-whitehorn-s-appeal/ar-AA1mctpL?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=5878d55e0a1e479db284b12b13ed05dc&ei=29|title=Shreveport attorney [[Royal Alexander]] analyzes La.

The Louisiana Democrat Party chairman Katie Bernhardt rebuffed the need for a second election in the race, which she called a "threat to democracy" on the premise that two of the illegal voters were Republican officials backing Nickelson over Whitehorn. She likened the situation to the 2020 presidential election between [[Donald Trump]] and [[Joe Biden]], in which she claimed that the "Republicans don't like to accept when they have lost. Instead of following the will of the people, they simply use money and influence to attempt to overturn fair and lawful election results."<ref>{{cite web|url[https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/louisiana-democratic-party-issues-statement-after-supreme-court-denies-appeal-in-caddo-sheriff-case/ar-AA1mgKLn?ocid=msedgntp&pc=DCTS&cvid=d0f1262aec5941f6b3c9ecb3ab4d77bc&ei=13|title=Louisiana Democratic Party issues statement after Supreme Court denies appeal in Caddo sheriff case|author=Britteny Hazelton|publisher=KSLA (CBS) in Shreveport|date=December 31, 2023|accessdate=January 1, 2024}}</ref>
