Camilletti files appeal in W.Va. judge race
By ANDREW SCHOTZ / Staff Writer, Martinsburg
MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - David Camilletti filed an appeal Wednesday of the Berkeley County Commissioners' recent decision in a Circuit Court primary hearing.
The commissioners Friday rejected Camilletti's argument that numerous ballots from the May 9 democratic primary should be thrown out because of technical flaws. They declared Gray Silver III the winner of the primary in Berkeley County.
Camilletti has asked for a Circuit Court judge to reverse the commissioners' decision and nullify certain ballots and precincts.
His appeal was expected. He said shortly after the primary that the race will probably reach the state Supreme Court of Appeals.
Camilletti and Silver ran against each other for the nomination to be the new 23rd Circuit judge. There will be no republican candidate on the November ballot.
