Challenger in Lynchburg GOP primary drops lawsuit contesting results
Peter Alexander had sued Vice Mayor Chris Faraldi, arguing that 125 absentee ballots were not tallied in the June 8 primary. In a new court filing, Alexander said his investigation of the matter has found that the ballots were in fact counted.
In a statement Monday, Faraldi’s attorney, Zach Werrell, called Alexander’s lawsuit “a political hit job intended to waste my client’s money and time.”
“Within minutes of reading the complaint, it was obvious they were simply misinformed, confused themselves, or intentionally confusing the issue,” Werrell said. “The only reason public time and resources were wasted on this suit is because the cabal behind Mr. Alexander’s campaign simply could not or would not understand some rather basic data entries in the voter database.”
