Public Hearing Set January 8-9
t)
The State Board of Elections
has ordered a public hea.:ng to
be conducted on Jan. 8^9 in
Shelby on the question of
whether a recount or new elec
tion will be called in the Nov. 4
county commissioner election.
Public hearing will be con
ducted by the Elections Board
beginning at 9 a.m. on Jan. 8th
in Courtroom 2 of the Cleveland
County Law Enforcement
Center.
Beth S. Lattimore, chairman
of the Cleveland County Board
of Elections, said the State Board
will hear evidence ‘in the matter
involving the contest for three
seats on the Board of County
Commissioners of Cleveland
County as reflected in the
general election conducted on
Nov. 4, 1980, after which the
Board shall determine whether a
recount of the ballots cast in all
or some of the precincts shall be
conducted or whether a new
election for the offices of county
commissioner shall be ordered.”
The State Board of Elections
met in special session Dec. 10th
in Boone to consider the appeal
by the Cleveland County
Association of Taxpayers (ACT)
of the ruling of the Cleveland
Board of Elections, charging ir
regularities at the polls.
The official protest was filed
by Bobby Crawford, one of the
three ACT-spionsored write in
candidates, who said that he felt
that a recount of the votes
would determine enough votes
to change the results of the elec
tion in which the three incum
bent commissioners received
about 2,000 more votes each
over write-in candidates
Crawford, Duran Johnson and
John Caveny, Jr. The three in
cumbents, Jack Palmer, Jr., Col
eman Goforth and Hugh Dover,
were declared the winners after a
canvass of the votes by the coun
ty elections officials.
