The trial for a former County Council candidate alleged to have voted in the wrong district will start July 11.
Tiffany Edwards Hunt, a blogger and former newspaper reporter who unsuccessfully ran for County Council District 5 in 2014, was charged with voter fraud last month following a police investigation into allegations that surfaced during her campaign. She pleaded not guilty Thursday.
County prosecutors allege she illegally voted in a different district in the 2012 elections by changing her primary address on her voter registration affidavit to her husband’s surf shop in Pahoa.
