The Guilford County Democratic Party has scheduled an “emergency meeting” of the full County Executive Committee to elect a replacement to the Guilford County Board of Elections for former Board Member Rev. T. Anthony Spearman.
Spearman, a Democrat, recently died at his home under bizarre circumstances – and the local party must now choose someone to fill what is a very important position in Guilford County government.
The battle for the empty Democratic seat on the elections board is a very spirited one with at least a half dozen contenders seeking to assume the spot. One high-ranking official in the local Democratic Party told the Rhino Times this week that the race is up in the air right now but that it’s almost certain Spearman will be replaced by a black person since Spearman was black.
The meeting of party officials will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, August 6. At that meeting, the local party’s executive committee will elect a replacement to complete Spearman’s unexpired term.
The party leaders will also, at the same meeting, elect a new secretary for the county’s Democratic Party and fill six slots on the State Executive Committee.
Interested candidates for any of the positions were asked to email in a 100-word bio and photo by 10 a.m. on Tuesday, August 2.
County election boards in North Carolina do extremely important work such as deciding which questionable votes do and don’t count in an election. The boards also determine the outcome of election challenges – such as the one that former Guilford County Commissioner Alan Branson brought recently against Guilford County’s $1.7 billion school bond, which won voter approval in the May primary election.
As the welcoming committee once said, “the Sheriff is near!” Rest assured that will play out in selecting a replacement.
So please explain why it has to be a “black “ person to fill this vacancy just because a “black person had it before. Is black better than an Asian, Hispanic or White
Because they are WOKE and it gives them the power to be RACIST. In reverse.
Election Board, School Board, Mayor, City Council, County Council, Governor, President, Congress.
Our Republic is going down the tubes. So, who is running things now? Whose fault is it?
It’s the citizens fault Miller. If you must place the blame somewhere it falls at the feet of those eligible citizens who DID NOT VOTE in our last election.
APATHY is a slowly progressing method of death and we’re in the death throes now.
If more people had voted in the last election, the results might have been the same. What we have are ignorant voters, block voters, and special interest voters. The most troubling of these is the ignorant voter because they do not know or understand the issues, and they are influenced by the other two.
I have to smile when I hear or read about white supremacy as the problem with elections. Convincing Whites to vote as a block is like herding cats.
Or maybe your way of thinking is becoming dated and the world is moving on without you.
Kind of reminds you of the latest qualifications for being a Supreme Court Justice .
Why does the person need to be black. Maybe beliefs along party lines would be best. Who wants Clarence Thomas again look at the Lt Governor. SMH
