Ballot Wording Leads to Court Case
A candidate for the district attorney’s office petitioned the court Tuesday to require his opponent, Wallace Wade, to delete statements from his sample ballot statement that allegedly are false or misleading.
Judge Anthony Rackauckas Jr. asked Orange County Superior Court to order Wade to delete statements indicating that Wade is the only candidate with “management experience” and that he was “the” assistant district attorney.
The statements, Rackauckas alleges, are false and misleading, because he too has managerial experience and because Wade is one of four assistant district attorneys.
Neither Wade nor Rackauckas could be reached for comment Tuesday evening.
