Election Roundup: Judge Who Is Sib of Gubernatorial Candidate Allegedly Involved in Sign Dispute
As election day nears, political campaign sign wars are at white heat.
Among those at whom the finger is pointing is a New Hampshire judge and brother of a Republican candidate for state governor who has been accused of threatening a Democratic campaign volunteer for putting up signs, according to the Nashua Telegraph and the Union Leader.
“District Court Judge Robert Stephen, the brother of Republican gubernatorial candidate John Stephen, threatened a campaign volunteer in Manchester with arrest Friday night for posting campaign signs on public property, despite that fact that Stephen’s campaign has placed hundreds of signs on public property throughout New Hampshire,” contends a written statement Sunday from New Hampshire Democratic Party.
Neither newspaper article includes any comment from the judge.
