The local Democratic Party leader is displeased with legislation that Senator Mae Beavers has pursued that would prevent anyone who has ever filed suit against a county election commission and lost from serving on that commission. The Chairman of the DeKalb County Democratic Party Chairman feels that the measure is aimed at one person, local election commission member Lisa Peterson. Peterson sued the local commission after she lost her position as administrator of elections in DeKalb when in 2009, when Republicans took control of the election commission.
