The vice chairwoman of the Republican Party in Forsyth County has filed protests alleging four illegal votes were cast here during the 2016 general election.
The news came as the campaign of Gov. Pat McCrory announced that election protests that have been filed in 52 of the state’s 100 counties contain allegations that include ballots being cast by people who are dead, who are convicted felons or who had already voted.
Linda Petrou, the Forsyth GOP vice chairwoman, said in her election protests that votes from two dead voters were received by absentee ballot, and that two felons cast ballots.
The Forsyth County Board of Elections made rulings on the dead-voter allegations during its meeting Thursday night, but has scheduled a hearing Tuesday morning to hear the protest over the votes allegedly cast by felons.
