Three complaints alleging voter intimidation in a Greenville City Council race have been filed with the Pitt County Board of Elections, Director Dave Davis said late Tuesday.
Signed affirmations from three voters allege that representatives for Tami Locust, who is conducting a write-in campaign in District 2, forced them to vote for Locust using an absentee ballot. The seat is held by Rose Glover, a 12-year veteran of the council.
The State Board of Elections directed Davis’ office to investigate the matter and hold a hearing sometime after the Nov. 15 canvass of election results, Davis said. The reason for scheduling the hearing after the canvass is because state and local boards “do not want to affect the (election) outcome with their actions,” he said in a written statement.

******WE NEED VOTER ID WITH
******WE NEED VOTER ID WITH PICTURE!!!!!!!!!!!1AND THE KIND OF VOTING WE'VE JUST EXPERIENCED SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. TO THE POWERS THAT BE--- DO YOU SEE HOW EASY IT IS TO MAKE VOTING INAPPROPRIATE OR EVEN ILLEGAL? THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IN AMERICA.
Oh, evreybody does it...
Isn't it funny how when Democrats violate the law, party affiliation isn't important?
It is funny
Especially when you say the words Acorn and Black Pathers in the last election and they were all tied to the head of the democratic party.
Regardless of race or party affiliation it is still wrong to intimidate little old ladies or any one for that matter. The Govenor says it does not exist in NC. She says we don't need to show ID at the polls because the fraud and intimidation don't exist. Govenor Cupcake gave us her word on that!!!!
And by the way helping them fill out their ballots is still wrong when you suggest or strongly recommend they vote for your candidate. IT STILL SMELLS like rotten fish.
Party affiliation really has nothing to do with this.......
Republicans have been practicing voter intimidation, discrimination and the like since the beginning of time. Really doesn't matter which party does it, its wrong
President Abraham Lincoln, a Republican
Practiced voter intimidation yeah, but not as bad as the Ku Klux Klan who of course, were all Democrats!
Fraud
How can it be legal or reasonable for a campaign manager to "Help" people fill out there ballots? How can anyone see this as a completely above board attempt to help the voter. How can we trust the fact that the manager was helping these people? There has got to be an outcry of the citizens of Greenville against anyone involved even in a small way with these allegations.
Vote Rose for honesty.
Wow
If Rose Glover is the standard for honesty in Greenville our city has a serious problem
In all fairness.....
The article states that all Taylor was help fill out the request for an absentee ballot, not that he filled out the actual ballot.
Read it again It says fill out the FORMS
Quote "The voters, all residents of Kennedy Circle, said they were told to write in Locust’s name."
Voter fraud
Just remember the governor who is a Democrat and Tami who is a Democrate and The Chairman who is a Democrat will all say there is no voter fraud in NC. Intimidation is nothing more than a form of fraud. Intimidation is a form of terrorism and it is just like the TRUNA and the Not in my neighborhood group trying to intimidate little old ladies over the WALMART issue. It has no place in this city. Whether the investigation by a biased Democrat election boards finds anything or not the smell is still bad.
