Judge rejects Lynchburg candidate's ballot name challenge, election to proceed as planned
A ballot name dispute in Lynchburg has officially been put to rest after a judge once again dismissed Commonwealth’s Attorney candidate Chris White’s complaint over how his name appears on the ballot.
The judge ruled it was “too little too late” to make any ballot changes, meaning the election will continue with the ballots as printed.
White had sued the city’s registrar’s office, arguing that listing his name as “Christopher G. White” could confuse voters who know him only as “Chris White.”
“I’m asking them to correct the ballot, and they didn’t,” White told 10 News after the hearing. “But I think something good will come from this, though. I think they’re going to make sure they have the ballot correct before they start putting it out.”
