What would some elected officials in Lauderdale County do to maintain the infamous Ag Center? According to some local political watchdogs, quite a bit. No, you won't read the official details in the TimesDaily. You may soon be able to read about how many think these elections were stolen in the Daily Mail(along with the rest of the world). In the interim, you can read about it in the Athens News Courier:
"State Representative, District No. 1, State Republican Executive Committee, Place No. 1, State Republican Executive Committee, Place No. 2 and State Republican Executive Committee, Place No. 3.
“The aforementioned election results are being contested on the grounds of malconduct, fraud, and/or corruption allegedly perpetrated by Senator Tim Melson, Representative Phillip Pettus, Candidate Scott Jones, Candidate Phillip Pettus II, and others known or unknown, satisfying $17-13-78, Code of Alabama, 1975. More specifically, the election contest would allege certain violations of Alabama Campaign Laws and Alabama Campaign Finance Laws,” according to a notice of contest obtained by The News Courier."
With less than a month until the runoff, we're eager to know how this will be handled. To the residents of Lauderdale County, just think how much of your tax dollars are now forced to be wasted because of this alleged fraud!
