Vice Chairman reports partisan concern about Kenbridge Rescue Squad precinct poll chief
Summary
Vice Chairman David Dalton told the Electoral Board that a past county Republican Party chairman raised concerns about the Poll Chief at the Kenbridge Rescue Squad precinct, noting that the Poll Chief is the county Democratic Party chairman; the board recorded the information but took no formal action.
At the Dec. 3 meeting of the Lunenburg County Electoral Board, Vice Chairman David Dalton reported a conversation with the past chairman of the County Republican Party about an incident at the Kenbridge Rescue Squad precinct.
Dalton said the past Republican chairman raised a point of contention about the precinct Poll Chief and noted that the Poll Chief in question is the County Democratic Party chairman. According to Dalton, the past chairman conveyed an inference that the Republican Party would be very concerned if that person remained in the Poll Chief role for future elections. The minutes record that the information was noted by the board; no names beyond roles were recorded in the minutes and no motion or investigation was initiated at the meeting.
The minutes do not indicate any formal follow-up steps, votes, or sanctions related to the allegation. The board’s minutes instead moved on to other scheduled business, including equipment and policy updates.
