Two Democrats Ineligible On Dickenson Electoral Board
Virginia Attorney General’s office says two Democrats on the Dickenson County Electoral Board are ineligible under the state constitution. The ruling cites deputies of local officials serving on elections boards and names Henry Wright and Roley Stone as the affected members. The opinion, dated Nov 4, followed complaints about access to absentee ballot records and leaves unresolved whether the board’s illegality could void county election results. Gov. Godwin has authorized state police to probe irregularities in Dickenson and Lee counties, with no public results yet.
