Ward 4 primary challenge could be filed in circuit court
Patricia Ann Douglas
Ward 4 council candidate Patricia Ann Douglas said she will be speaking with her attorney about the next steps in her challenge to the April 6 Democratic primary election after the Columbus Municipal Executive Committee declined to act on the challenge during its Tuesday meeting.
In a letter hand-delivered to executive committee chairman Melodie Cunningham on Monday, Jackson attorney Spencer Ritchie, who is representing the Douglas campaign, released a list of eight voters who voted in the primary who the Douglas campaign says are not residents of Ward 4. Of the eight voters alleged to live outside the ward but used Ward 4 addresses to vote in the primary three listed their address at the home of Marty Turner, who was declared the winner of the primary.
