Here’s an interesting note from a loyal Ashvegas reader. I, too, have been wondering about this woman’s campaign. She’s doing very little, if any, advertising. I haven’t seen her in the media. What’s up?
The note:
I’m hearing that Diane McDonald is publicly admitting that she filed for the Superior Court race only to force separate elections for the two available positions (by operation of state statute) and that she is a supporter of Marvin Pope who wants him to win the election in which she is a candidate. Skullduggery!
The issue of separate elections in this case was heard recently by the state Board of Elections when the board met here in Asheville a few weeks back. Read this Mountain Xpress story for background.
