Great news from Reston!
A last-minute write-in campaign to prevent a self-described Holocaust revisionist from serving on a civic body in Reston has succeeded with a landside, the organization's former president said today.
Ken Meyercord, who had been running unopposed for an at-large seat on the Reston Citizens Association's 13-member volunteer board, received only 23 votes after his provocative views on Jews created a backlash.
Colin Mills, the write-in candidate for the at-large position on the board, received 1,157 votes, according to Mike Corrigan, the civic association's former president and a member of the election committee.
My only question is how the Holocaust-denier got even 23 votes, but I'll take the 1,157-23 victory for Colin Mills in a last-minute write-in campaign against that dude. Thank you, Reston!
