The chairman of the Wake County Republican Party is challenging Clay Aiken's right to vote in the recent school board election, one week after the pop singer called the victorious GOP candidates " selfish idiots."

In a press release, Claude E. Pope Jr. noted that Aiken voted in Wake's fall election while living in a mansion in Chatham County. The singer's mother resides in Raleigh.

“All citizens and all political parties have an interest in rooting out instances of voter fraud," Pope said, "and for that reason I have filed this challenge in order to prevent Mr. Aiken from any future attempts to vote in a place where he is not legally a resident.”
