Election Commission Rejects Jackson Mayor Petition
The Aiken County Election Commission refused a referendum petition from Jackson Mayor Mon Son Rollo, falling two signatures short of the 134 required. About 85 signatures were invalid due to unenrolled voters, nonregistered individuals, or signatures from ineligible people. Rollo plans to resubmit using proper forms he has obtained, while opponent Meta Pou criticizes the effort as lacking the needed forms and says the mayor pushes for more authority.
