The Most Energy Efficient Candidate Ever

Tennessee Democratic Party coordinated campaign Chairman Kim Hayden at press conference on the steps of War Memorial Plaza called for an investigation into possible voter fraud in Murfreesboro by a Republican state House candidate Rick Womick.

Democrats assert that Womick is not a proper resident of the 49th state House District where he is currently running for office.

The coordinated campaign says that the address Womick is registered to vote at, 903 Sulphur Springs Road in Murfreesboro, is not his permanent residence.

Hayden asserts that Womick actually lives in the 34th House District, and has videotaped evidence supporting this charge.

“An electric timer may turn on the lights every night at his house in District 49, but Womick and his family are likely getting ready for dinner at their home in District 34.

“It is a serious offense to lie to your neighbors in Rutherford County, and Womick may have committed several felonies,” Hayden continued.

“We hope the Republican Party will acknowledge that we don’t need candidates lying about their residence. If Rick Womick can’t tell the truth about where he lives, then he shouldn’t be sitting in state government,” Hayden concluded.

The Democratic Party provides electric and water bills they say prove Rick Womick does not actually live where he claims he does.

Democrats assert Womick actually lives at 6015 Highway 99 in Rockvale located in Donna Rowland’s 34th District.

A video of Womick’s voter registration address is here. Pictures of where Democrats assert he actually resides are here and here.

UPDATE: Here’s the full release from the TNDP.

UPDATE II: Bill Hobbs refutes the charges with a timeline.
