(Martin Walsh) Almost two years after Democrat Tarus Mack was certified the winner of an Eatonville Town Council election, a judge has ordered Mack to be removed from his position due to evidence uncovered by his opponent suggesting votes were illegally cast or procured.

“I was very ecstatic,” Marlin Daniels said, who filed the lawsuit challenging the election results. “Immediately I said, ‘Let’s get to work.’ We have to fix things that have been going wrong in this historic town and make things right, not for me, but for the people.”
“There were both illegal votes as well as fraudulent votes cast in this election. And for those familiar with local politics, that was not a surprise,” said Daniels’s attorney, Christian W. Waugh. “Those votes have now been removed from the tally. And because of that, my client, Marlin Daniels, is now going to be a public servant for the Town of Eatonville.”

In March 2020, Eatonville voters went to the polls to decide whether Mack should retain his seat on the town council. After the voting results were tallied, it appeared Daniels had defeated the incumbent by a single vote.
But following a recount by the Orange County Canvassing Board, court records show two previously uncounted votes were discovered, giving Mack a 269-to-268 vote victory. Daniels filed a lawsuit in April 2020 contesting the election. Mack and the Orange County Canvassing Board were named as defendants.
range County Circuit Court Judge Kevin Weiss held a non-jury trial earlier this month, where several witnesses were called to testify. One of them, William Sheketoff, said he had been living in a motel owned by former Eatonville mayor Anthony Grant.
Sheketoff, who was behind on his rent payments and at risk for eviction, claims Grant offered to drive him and another tenant to a polling location on election day and coerced them to vote for Mack, according to an affidavit.
“[Grant] gave both of us ‘sample ballots’ with Tarus Mack and [another candidate] highlighted in yellow stating, ‘This is who I would like you to vote for” and drove us to Town Hall,” said Sheketoff. “I realized that he expected me to vote for Tarus Mack… or I would be evicted.”
About a week after the election, Sheketoff said Grant locked him out of his room at the motel but did not initiate a formal eviction. Grant declined to comment on the matter. When asked by a News 6 reporter if he denied Sheketoff’s allegations that he interfered in the election, Grant hung up the phone.
“Debt forgiveness is a major thing of value – as is a place to live – for someone like Sheketoff who has nowhere to go,” Weiss wrote in his ruling. “Sheketoff was a credible witness, and the defendant offered no testimony to rebut his testimony.”
Those two votes were in favor of Mack.
One of those voters voluntarily confirmed he voted for Mack, court records show.
The other, Bobby Taylor, testified in court that he never voted in the 2020 town council election.
By excluding Sheketoff’s vote and the vote cast under Taylor’s name, Daniels ultimately received one more vote than Mack.

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
