6 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2005 Legislators take shot at court BY AARON PRUITT STAFF WRITER In an effort to streamline the elections process, legislators filed bills in both houses of the General Assembly on Tuesday that would establish procedures for dealing with contested results. Sen. Dan Clodfelter, D- Mecklenburg, sponsored the bill in the Senate, and Reps. Deborah Ross, D-Wake, and Beverly Earle, D-Mecklenburg, co-sponsored it in the House. “This is just setting up a proce dural mechanism,” Clodfelter said. “We’ve had this power for quite some time; we just haven’t needed to use it in quite some time.” The N.C. Constitution gives the legislature jurisdiction over dis puted elections for governor, lieu tenant governor and positions in the Council of State. But it doesn’t stipulate how to go about it. Ross said the purpose of the bill is to fulfill the General Assembly’s con stitutional duty and to help expedite the process in contested elections. “If it weren’t for this bill, you To Place a Line Classified Ad Call 962-0252 • Fax 962-1609 or email classifieds@unc.edu DTH office is open Mon-Fri B:3oam-s:oopm UNC One Card, Cash, Checks, Mastercard, Visa & American Express accepted abe Daily aar Announcements NOTICE TO ALL DTH CLASSIFIED CUSTOM ERS: Please read your ad the first day it runs to check for any errors.

Under the bill, the Speaker of the House and the Senate president pro tem each would appoint five people to a special committee after a losing candidate files a contest. After reviewing the evidence, the committee would give a recom mendation to a joint session, which could accept a proposal, reject it or send it back to committee. The bill comes less than a week after the N.C. Supreme Court threw out more than 11,000 provisional ballots cast statewide. “We’re not sure why the courts even heard the case,” Clodfelter said. “The courts have no jurisdic tion in contested elections.” Under the state constitution, courts aren’t in a position to decide the outcome of a contested elec tion, said Ferrel Guillory, director of UNC’s Program on Southern Politics, Media and Public Life. “Courts aren’t empowered to rule in elections,” he said. “The courts can only apply the law.

They are letting the politics of an elec tion play out in an orderly way.” Clodfelter stressed that this bill is not new to North Carolina or to the country. “This provision has been around for almost 160 years here in the state, and several other states have a similar provision,” he said. “Most people agree who won an election the person with the most votes —but recently there have been challenges over who gets the votes,” Clodfelter said. “It is pretty rare for this provi sion to be used. Contested elections just (don’t) happen all that often.” Contact the State Si National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.

Rohe said the council’s program also pays for no-interest, forgiv able loans, which the homeowner doesn’t have to repay as long as he stays in the house for a set amount of time. Loans are offered for five, 10 and 15 years. “We just want to make sure we don’t rehab someone’s house and then they go and sell it,” Rohe said, adding that the homeowner would only have to pay back the loan if he moves before his time is up. Rohe said the loans typically pay for common home repairs such as a hole in the wall or a leaky roof. There have been about 20 appli cants so far. For Rent | New!

But households outside of Northside that fit affordable hous ing standards can still apply for either of the federal grants. “They could be used for home repairs, new construction or down payment assistance,” said Robert Dowling, director of Orange Community Housing and Land Trust, which uses the grants to fund affordable housing projects. He said that some of the grants will be used in Northside, but it is hard to judge where the money will go because no one has asked for a grant yet for the 2005-06 year. Dolores Bailey, co-director of EmPOWEßment Inc., an organi zation that helps with development projects in Northside, said the fed eral grants make homes affordable. “We offer the grants to home buyers as a subsidy,” she said. “We have a very difficult time competing with a large developer who can offer more money,” she added. “We just don’t have the money to give to them.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.
