Republican Party Files Lawsuit
WEST VIRGINIA....
The Republican Party filed a lawsuit Friday in Kanawha County Circuit Court challenging the ballot for the November 2, 2010 election which contains both the special election and the general election. Chairman Mike Stuart says with straight ticket voting, only having one ballot could favor the Democrats, and the Legislature was clear that each election should have its own ballot. Stuart says Democrats and several county clerks have also questioned the validity of having a single ballot for the two elections. However, Secretary of State Natalie Tennant says one ballot saves money and avoids voter confusion,and the lawsuit is a waste of time.
