J. Scott Poole, chairman of the
Hoke Elections Board, says regis
tration for the Nov. 5 presidential
election is light—not a single per
son before noon and less than 100
throughout the rest of the day. Each
voter in the county is required to
re-register—all 5,000 of them—as
the county switches to a “looseleaf ’
system of keeping track of voters.
Each voter gets his or her own page.

Stogner says. “The moral right or
wrong of our becoming involved no
longer is a valid argument that we

deeply involved, with more than a
half-million people over there, and
we are fighting for honorable and
worth objectives.”
