BREAKING NEWS: Ignacio Served Injunction Over Sample Ballot Scandal
Nick Ignacio served at early voting site, to appear in court Thursday
Nick Ignacio, trading as Fredericksburg Virginia Patriots and a candidate for Clerk of Court in Spotsylvania County, was served with an injunction this morning and must immediately desist distributing misleading sample ballots until his hearing on Thursday in Spotsylvania Circuit Court.
Ignacio has faced criticism for his distributing blatantly misleading sample ballots that identify him as the endorsed candidate by both the Democratic and Republican committees in Spotsylvania.
Neither body has endorsed him.
Ryan G. Mahaffey, who is running for Commonwealth Attorney in Spotsylvania, is listed as the plaintiff.
The Advance was the first to report this on September 23. The story has also been reported by NBC4 out of Washington and the Free Lance-Star.
The Advance will continue to report this developing story as merited.
I was at the early polling site on the first day, and Ryan Mchaffey was visibly upset that they were passing out these bogus forms. Good for him!!
I hope the harm done already has been slight.
