No offense to the people who are active in the North Carolina Democratic Party, but when they put Randy Voller in as party chairman, did anyone check to see whether he is a Democrat?
We know he was a four-time mayor of Pittsboro and chairman of the Chatham County Democrats. But we also know his biggest fans these days are Republicans. Voller’s misstatements, missteps and tax troubles have taken attention away from GOP stumbles and diminished Democrats as an appealing option. Republicans couldn’t have put a better man in the job if they had chosen the Democratic chairman themselves.
Voller was barely in the chairman’s job in February when the Associated Press revealed he has $286,000 in liens filed against him by the state of North Carolina and the IRS for back taxes and penalties. Voller said that the tax debt arose from slow sales in his family’s development business during the national economic downturn and that he’s paying it back.
