City forgot to hold 2009 election

DESOTO, GA (WALB) – Two members of the city council in a small Sumter County town weren't actually elected to those posts.

No one in the city realized they were supposed to hold an election last year.

The Secretary of State's office says they better fix it soon.

They face seven potential violations, including failing to publish public notice 30 days prior to the election, and failing to appoint an election superintendent.

"We just forgot it, that's the only thing that happened we just forgot it," said Addie Cutts, City of DeSoto Councilwoman.

1. I thought it was a hoax to get publicity and maybe it is
2. Why does the walb have it listed as a global story?

2. The county should be conducting the elections IMO.

They appoint their election superintendent?
