Pritt on Ballot Amid Arrest and Legal Battle | Charleston News
Description
Former state delegate Elliott Pritt, arrested and charged with enticement of a minor, is still on the November ballot — despite resigning and being in federal custody. Running unopposed in the GOP primary, he can withdraw by August 11th, but a new law blocks the party from replacing him. Alternatively, someone can petition the State Election Commission to disqualify him — also by August 11th. A felony charge doesn’t automatically disqualify him; conviction or a guilty plea is required. Meanwhile, prosecutors are racing to build a case, stressing that every day a predator remains free is too long.
