Cotton 2002 Election Case Headed for Grand Jury
Via tfpOnline:
Steve Crump, assistant district attorney general for the 10th Judicial District, said his office will present findings into alleged criminal violations surrounding a 2002 Hamilton County election to a grand jury in 30 days. The case involves voters who were moved between precincts before the May 2002 county primary election between Hamilton County Commissioner William Cotton and challenger Warren Mackey. Mr. Cotton defeated Mr. Mackey by 36 votes in the 4th District's Democratic primary.
So, now that Commissioner Cotton has decided to remain seated on the Commission despite his arrest on federal bribery charges, will it turn out that he is forced off because he shouldn't have been there all this time?
