Nov 20, 2007Quickie Link: Judge Asked To Void Election Due To Transgender Candidate
By vanrozenheim
(USA) - Two unsuccessful city council candidates in Riverdale say a fellow candidate committed fraud when she ran as a woman. Georgia Fuller and Stanley Harris - who lost bids for council seats - filed petitions in Clayton County Superior Court last week asking the judge to stop the upcoming runoff election. The lawsuit alleges that incumbent Michelle Bruce - who identifies herself as Transgender and goes by Michelle Mickey Bruce - misled voters by identifying herself as a female during the Nov. 6 election. The suit, which identifies her as "Michael Bruce," asks a judge to rule the November election results invalid and order another general election.
