Not long ago, Buncombe County Republicans banded together to try to fire a perfectly good Elections Services director. Now, in Watauga County, history may be repeating:
In an Oct. 8 petition, Stella Anderson, Jesse Presnell and Ian O’Keefe asked the State Board of Elections to remove Watauga County Board of Elections members Luke Eggers and Bill Aceto. They alleged “official misconduct, participation in intentional irregularities, unethical actions, and incapacity and incompetency to discharge the duties of their offices.”
The Watauga Democrat insinuates the aggravations are partisan.
