GOP Attacks Oath Ruling On Party Change
Local GOP leader John Eshelman condemned a state ruling by Attorney General Wade Bruton that voters who switch parties must take the oath of allegiance. Bruton’s decision responded to Guilford County concerns about circumventing the rule, while Republicans argue the requirement infringes conscience and privacy. Eshelman called the order Democratic-inspired and questioned its legality and the voting office procedure.
