In an article by Josh Shaffer in Saturday’s newsobserver.com, local “Democratic strategist” Perry Woods said that he thought that as long as Clay Aiken didn’t vote in Chatham county (the county where Aiken resides) he would likely be “in the clear.” Woods sends the wrong message to North Carolina voters when he says, “he can name his mother’s house as a permanent residence and be in the clear.” In this N&O Blog, reporter Keung Hui wrote “The Wake Board of Elections will first decide whether Aiken should still be registered to vote in the county. They’ll ask Aiken questions such as where his pets spend the night and where he goes to sleep at night.”
All the Wake County Board of Elections needs to do is watch this WRAL video in November 2006 – Clay Aiken actually gives a tour of his new house and his dog makes an appearance too.

I know it would be easy to make light of this case, but I hope the Board of Elections takes it seriously.
