Election decision delayed over Navajo presidential ticket
Dr George Lee running mate to suspended candidate Peter MacDonald says Navajo voters are being denied the right to decide the presidential ticket. The Navajo Board of Election Supervisors debated postponing the Nov 6 general election to Jan 6 1991 and considered removing MacDonald and Lee from the ballot amid bribery convictions. Lee called for the ticket to remain intact, while opponents warned of legal action if the election is delayed.
