Finally, Scott responds to claims
Rep. Heather Scott, R-Blanchard, finally has responded to allegations that her supports are harassing supporters of Democratic opponent Kate McAlister, including McAlister's 90-year-old mother. Cameron Rasmussen of the Sandpoint Reader has the story:
Rep. Heather Scott, R-Blanchard, said accusations of her supporters harassing Democrats are yet another symptom of an ugly election cycle. The comments follow claims from the Idaho Democratic Party that they were forced to remove a young field worker from Bonner County for his safety. According to a report filed with the Bonner County Sheriff’s Office, the party employee said Scott supporters stalked and threatened him, following him to the host home and recording his license plate. “It’s campaign season, and mudslinging appears to be the approach of my opponents,” Scott wrote in an email. “While allegations make great headlines, they are just that: assertions that someone has done something illegal or wrong, made without proof.” More here.
