Steven Hoyt’s response to the possibility his election is invalid:
Hoyt on Wednesday dismissed the notion of an illegal vote, saying council members had a chance to express concern Tuesday but said nothing. Hoyt maintains he is pro tem and will serve as council president while Royal serves as acting mayor. Hoyt made the committee assignments Wednesday afternoon.
“Voting won’t take place again,” Hoyt said. “I’m council president and I do not plan to relinquish my position. I was elected by a majority of the council.”

No harm, no foul, right? It’s that kind of attitude that gave us Larry Langford as mayor of Birmingham even though he never bothered to move into the city. No one challenged him before the election, and afterwards a judge accepted his “intent” to move and dismissed the challenge.
