Un-American protest over county election fight in Lake County
Sheriff Willis McCall denounces what he calls un-American actions by voters and a protest against Lake County officials for hiring extra legal counsel to contest a primary result. The dispute centers on certifying the winner and possibly ending the election battle that could bar a McCall-backed candidate from future races. Lawyers for both sides argue over authority and statewide implications while taxpayers object to using public funds to oppose the majority.
