Todorov re Pynchon

[pynchonoid]

'GOP' supporters actually Greens 

[by] Kerana M. Todorov 

A recent mailer sent to voters by a group of "local
Republican" supporters of Supervisor Elizabeth Martin
included a list of people who supposedly belong to the
Grand Old Party.  But at least three of the 74 names
listed in support of the District 4 candidate are
registered Green Party members, the Nevada County
Elections Office's electronic database shows, and at
least one is nonpartisan.

The names were included at the end of a mailer titled
"Local Republicans trust Supervisor Elizabeth 'Izzy'
Martin." It is a "partial list," stated the mailer
paid for by the Izzy Martin for Supervisor Committee.
"That piece was written by Republicans who are working
hard on my campaign," Martin said Friday. The group
started working on that mailer two months ago, using a
database provided by the Elections Office, she said.
They all showed the names as Republicans, she said. "I
can't really tell you anything more." 

One of the registered Green Party members listed in
the mailer is William C. Pynchon. Pynchon, a
self-described Martin fan, said he does not mind being
listed on her mailer. "I'll (lend) may name for
anything backing Izzy Martin," said Pynchon, who
hasn't seen the mailer. Nonetheless, he questions why
party affiliations are mentioned in county supervisor
elections. This doesn't make sense to a lot of people,
he said. "It's a nonpartisan election." 

Pynchon said he switched parties from Republican to
Green last fall because he was unimpressed with the
Republican or the Democratic presidential candidates. 
"Just don't tell my dad."
