RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)- The head of the Republican Party in a North
Carolina county wants election officials to check on Clay Aiken's
registration after a political outburst.
Wake County GOP Chairman Claude Pope filed a complaint Friday
challenging whether the former ``American Idol'' runner-up can vote
lawfully in the county.
Records show Aiken voted last month using the address of his
mother's home in Raleigh, where he once lived. He now has a house
in nearby Chatham County.
Aiken blogged last week that candidates who won Wake County
school board elections are ``selfish idiots'' who may ruin the
school system.
Pope said the challenge isn't about Aiken's words but making
sure people are lawfully registered.
An Aiken publicist didn't return a phone call seeking comment.
