Batting 5,000+: Let Asheville Vote says it cleared the hurdle
At 3 p.m. today, Let Asheville Vote organizer Charlie Hume submitted 5,650 signatures to the city of Asheville Clerk’s office. If the Buncombe County Board of Elections confirms that 5,000 or more are from registered city voters, then the group’s petition to force a referendum on the issue of partisan ballots in municipal elections will be successful.
