Mayor's Race
Not covered by the mainstream media after last week’s elections was the unusually high number of write in votes for Haymarket council. A little research revealed that Stutz had orchestrated a write in campaign to put her on council if she lost the mayoral election to Benjamin. Voting records show that she received 49 write in votes for council. When voting officials were asked if that scheme would work, they declined to say, stating that it wasn’t worth asking since she had won. Other experts called the scheme misguided, and stated that it would fail in the legal system. “Whoever thought this plan up obviously doesn’t understand much about Virginia election law”, one source close to the state election board said.
