Commission chair wants answer about ballot mix-up

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Yesterday’s election ballot mix-up has New Hanover County Commission Chair Jason Thompson wanting answers. Thompson says someone has to take responsibility for what went on with the ballots at Freedom Baptist Church and the Northeast Library.

Thompson sent a letter to New Hanover County Board of Elections Chair Tommy Guinn extending an invitation to the next County Commission meeting. Thompson says he wants an explanation of what exactly went wrong Tuesday.

He says Guinn could easily reject the invitation, but he says the public and the voters deserve an explanation.
