"We had problems with this particular precinct (11) for years. There was reason to believe they had been counting the votes before the polls closed, which is illegal," ex plained Wilson. Griffin said the GOP Security Task Force hired Winfield and him as inde pendent poll observers. The committee contracted to pay them $50 to keep check on five precincts, including Asheville Junior High. According to Griffin, at approximately 6:10 p.m. they saw a woman at Pre cinct 11 pull out a tally sheet, almost an hour and a half l>efore the polls closed, 'fwo precinct wor kers began calling out numbers as the woman wrote them down. "John and I went in and standing approximately 10 feet from the polls con firmed what they were do ing. John took two pic tures. The people were stunned and began yelling at us," said Griffin.

Griffin said he informed them he was working for the GOP Security Task Force and attempted to hold down the tally sheets so precinct workers could not confiscate the infor mation. There were at least three tally sheets according to Griffin. Grover Mooneyham, chair man of the Buncombe County Board of Elections, re quested that Lawrence Gilliam, Democratic pre cinct chairman, sign a warrant for the arrest of the men, according to court records. Both Mooneyham and Gil liam refused to comment on the incident. Griffin said police ne ver read their rights, and the charge was not drawn up until alnwst two hours later. "Those boys were arrested illegally. They had a per fect right to be at the polls, and to take pic tures for proof of the wrongdoing," said Wilson. Griffin said he hopes precinct officials will drop the charges. "Everything we did was legitimate. I think it is an excellent idea to have poll observers. I would definitely do it again," said Griffin. Meetings: The Ldterature/Conmiolcatioiis Club will meet in room 104 of the Carmichael Humanities building, Nov. 20, 12:15 p.m. Bring a bag lunch.
