FROM WRAL: Democratic state elections board member Maya Kricker asked Watauga Republican election board Bill Aceto to explain the closure of the Appalachian State site. He responded that other sites were better suited and more accessible. I dont see a compelling public interest in eliminating an early voting site that has served so many voters. The perception of fairness cannot be overstated, Kricker responded. We can create a war zone or we can build a community. Noting that there isnt support on the state board, which is also Republican-dominated, to force the Watauga board to reinstate the App State location, Kricker added, Im hoping that you will really reconsider for the general election in November. Republican state board chairman Josh Howard pointedly recommended that Aceto take Krickers recommendation back to Watauga board chairman Luke Eggers.
