Yet another disaster developing in the Fairfax Democrats...
Recently the group elected Matt Bell as their Secretary. Matt is a Young Democrat who claims to live at his parents house in Clifton, VA (Fairfax County), but had an incident with a fight at his real home, an apartment in Washington D.C. with a staffer from Dave Marsden's campaign last year.
The controversy surrounding Matt led a couple members of the Steering Committee to look up his voter registration. Yes, he is registered in Clifton and has been since April 29th, 2005. But in those seven years he hasn't bothered to go vote a single time! He's missed six Democratic primaries (05 LG, 06 Senate/Congressional, 07 State Senate, 08 Presidential, 08 Congressional, 09 Governor) and every general election from 2005 on.
Matt was part of Cesar del Aguila's slate and like everything else Cesar does, was apparently not vetted at all. Now Cesar is trying to cover for Matt by accusing the members of the committee who looked this up of fraudulent use of the voter file! Cesar will do anything to cover for his supporters, which includes a number of Republicans that supported him in this election after filing to be on FCDC.
It's looking more and more like the only path for Democrats in Fairfax this year will be the Obama and Kaine campaigns taking the county over- Cesar and his island of misfit toys are not ready for prime time.
