One of the adjustments you have to make when you move to North Carolina is dealing with a ballot that seems like it's 100 pages long when you vote. I mean we vote for positions that are appointed in most other states, and to think that we citizens actually know who every joker on the ballot is is just plain ludicrous.
That's why it's not entirely shocking that a guy who ran for and won a Guilford County Soil and Conservation District Supervisor seat used a false name on the ballot and was actually a transient. The Rhino Times has the full story here.
If you read the story you'll find that the alleged election fraudster had a landlord/roommate who was also his campaign manager until the two had a falling out. Where'd the two meet? Why at the Forsyth County Central Library in Winston-Salem. I knew there was something fishy about that place, what with all those books.
Thanks to Ed Cone for the tip. I'd also like to say that I agree with him that we have entirely too many positions on the ballot.
