catawba county

This coming Saturday the Democratic Party of Catawba County will hold its convention and elect new officers. Elizabeth Glynn is expected to become the new chairman, Eli has become a very active Democrat but she has her work cut out. Unlike other counties in the state Catawba county has not been able to turn recent party activism into electoral victories, with the exception of the NC House 88th district which includes parts of Catawba County and all of Alexander County, and is controlled by former Alexander County Democratic Sheriff Ray Warren the 2006 and 2008 elections have proven to be Republican sweeps. While some in the party are getting discouraged others are looking for new ways for the Democrats to become competitive.

Is Ms. Kitty Barnes and the NCACC digging the state in a hole?

Catawba County Commissioner Chair Kitty Barnes, who is also President of the NCACC is trying to get permission for Catawba County to keep it's voting machines and also get the Public Confidence in Elections Act repealed or delayed.

If she succeeds, her efforts will cost the state up to $55 Million in federal funding, cause the primaries to be delayed, and cause the state to be in violation of the federal Help America Vote Act mandate.
