Former Wake County commissioner Gary Pendleton was charged with a misdemeanor for allegedly assaulting a poll worker on Friday. Pendleton said he was 'observing' at the polling location in Wake Forest at the direction of the county Republican Party. He tried to enter the polling place thirty minutes before it officially opened. After security refused him entry, he tried to get around the worker. When the worker blocked him, Pendleton pushed the worker back. He was cited a Class 3 misdemeanor.
