Rockdale Citizen
CONYERS -- The campaign for Eric Levett, who won the Democratic primary for sheriff Tuesday night, is sending a message that his challenge to incumbent Sheriff Jeff Wigington is a "real race," not a plan to eliminate any other candidate from the general election.
Levett defeated fellow Democrat Donald Ferguson with 57 percent of the vote Tuesday and will face Wigington on Nov. 6. Levett is a deputy in the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office. This is his first campaign for elective office.
Ferguson, who lost to Wigington in the 2008 general election, claimed Thursday that he was defeated by crossover voting from the Republican Party.
A total of 7,493 votes were cast for the two Democratic candidates in the primary; 8,805 Republican votes were cast for Wigington. A total of 18,033 votes were cast in the primaries.
Ferguson, a retired captain from the Fulton County Sheriff's Department, stopped short of saying that crossover voting was orchestrated in an effort to eliminate him from the race.
"God knows what happened," he said. "And other than that, I believe this race did not have any ethical grounding and it did not have any integrity."
Early on in the race Levett had alluded to implications that his campaign was part of a strategy to defeat Ferguson. At a League of Women Voters forum in June, Levett said running for sheriff was his personal goal. "This is not something I was asked to do for anyone else," he said.
On Thursday, George Lopez, Levett's campaign chairman, spoke on behalf of Levett who was out of town.
"Donald Ferguson has mentioned this -- this is not a ploy," said Lopez. "Nobody has put Eric up to do this. The sheriff has not put him up to do this to help him in any way. This is a real race and we look forward to November."
Wigington echoed Lopez's statement.
"I think that, unfortunately, when someone loses they always want to blame somebody else," Wigington said, "but I've never taken any opponent for granted and I've never been a part of encouraging anyone to run against me, and to think that I would is ludicrous."
Wigington, who is seeking his fifth term, said he is now focusing on the November election.
"I look forward to a good campaign between now and November, and hopefully I'll be successful in November," he said. "I look forward to being the sheriff for Rockdale County for four more years."
Wigington also said he was pleased with the turnout Tuesday.
"It shows, not only in my race but in a lot of other races, that the community is ready for stable, ethical leadership," he said.
Lopez said the message of the Levett campaign going forward will be "forging a new sense of leadership and helping the citizens of Rockdale County."
Lopez also said Levett wanted to thank all those who came out to vote in Rockdale County, "whether they voted for him or not -- just for being out there and letting their voice be heard."

He was defeated by Rockdale County voters. All those empty houses & vacant lots that had his signs couldn't show up & vote on Tuesday.

Mr. Fersguson, take a hint. The majority of voters do not want you for Sheriff in this county.

If there had been crossover voting, neither Oden nor Nesbitt would've won. Ferguson is displaying the devisive whiner we all knew him to be.
Elmo 9 months, 2 weeks ago
"...ethical grounding and integrity"...Fergie said that?!? After Augusta, he said that?!?
"orchestrated crossover...", pull-eeze.
I don't know if the excuse-making is a result of narcissism, or tons of ignorant audacity, but humility, and honor are definitely out the window.
If it had been an "orchestrated" effort, then Fergie would have won the primary, hands down, which would make Wigginton's win that much easier in November.
The people of Rockdale are better off as we don't need any whiners in office. People with class usually concede with grace and dignity, while sore losers look for a "straw man" to blame for their own shortcomings.

Please post this: emo check this out came from ur buddy out this paper;
"Per ClaytonBigsby in the Citizen poll he suggested, ":I'd encourage every Republican to be a "Democrat for a day" on the date of the primary election" (see link below). In other words, play cowards for a day flip & vote for Levett over Ferguson. This way it ensures Wigington a victory, because he doesn't have to face Ferguson. http://www.rockdalecitizen.com/news/2012/may/11/rockdale-citizen-poll-may-13/#c32369 "
I always prove my points!!!!
Frustrated 9 months, 2 weeks ago
still doesnt prove they voted for Levett. Maybe they voted for Oden's and Nesbitt's Democratic opponents.
Elmo 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Zo, you seldom even HAVE a point, much less prove it.
Your guy lost, "fairness" has nothing to do with it.
No matter what party voted, the people said, without question, that they did NOT want Ferguson as Sheriff. Period!
Levette' "evals" have nothing to do with this situation, the people have spoken.
There is no "do-over", it's over and done.
Which part of "he lost" don't you understand? Your writings smack of OCD behavior and the childhood fantasy that if you gripe loud, and long enough, the vote will be nullified and the victory handed to Furguson by default.
Ain't gonna happen.
If your guy is so certain of electoral "shenanigans", he should bring charges and contest this perfectly, legal, election. In other words, put up, or shut up.
"Pawn", or not, Levette won, get over it.
Anyway, by the time November rolls around, you'll be leading the parade for him, probably based on color. But we won't forget all the slamming you have done against Levette, which will prove the point.
You seem to know so much that just isn't true.
Elmo 9 months, 2 weeks ago
So?
Zo 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Ferguson's success is his curse..... Logic says reward "success", but I guess when you compare him to wig & lev(more the same partners) he's too successful. I hope as parents you teach your child(ren) to reward success not envy it.
Again, a pawn will never b a king. Wig played his hand smooth & found him a good pawn(we so easily perseuded). Levette which car is wig going to allow u to drive for being a good pawn?
Zo 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Please post this in all fairness you allowed Elmo to say whatever: What campaigning has Levette or Wiggington done? This news article had to reference a quote back from June's forum. The reason being neither has Levette or Wiggington(More of the Same Partners) actively did any campaigning other than focus on Ferguson and they succeeded.
Now citizens of Rockdale lets prove us who felt this was staged by getting Ferguson out the race watch to see if Wiggington & Levette actual fight for the sheriff's title. Wiggington nor Levette has shared anything that differentiates them from each other.
I'm glad to see Levette has diversified at least by bring in a Latino campaign manager whom hasn't demonstrated NOTHING to show what makes Levette a better choice. He had a chance in this article, but what he focused on Ferguson.
Lets see if Levette was just a pawn or serious contender. Last time I checked a pawn never defeated a king.

Ferguson said. "..., I believe this race did not have any ethical grounding and it did not have any integrity."
And he is correct, but it was he who demonstrated the lack of ethics and integrity in his orchestrated effort to intentionally mislead the voters regarding his online educational pursuits of a PhD that, in fact, is not offered by the online university in which he is enrolled.
As heresyafacts indicated, if crossover voters were the cause then neither Oden or Nesbitt would have been successful.
Ferguson has been weighed, measured and found wanting. And, now whining!

Defeat by any other name is still defeat. The headline could have just as easily read "Ferguson blames defeat on voters who do not want him as sheriff". THAT'S what happened, regardless of HOW it happened. Try working here as a deputy to build some "cred", Fergie.

Here's the other joke, this is your first time running for public office, Levette, & you no where for comment, especially this being your home town. You no where to be found because they don't want you to spill the beans, so keep quiet.
Per Wigington's evals of Levette, reading & writing is a challenge for him. By the way, please explain, "forging a new sense of leadership and helping the citizens of Rockdale County"?
BOCWatch 9 months, 2 weeks ago
As much as I hate to agree with Ferguson to some degree there was in fact a crossover vote; it was not orchestrated as he implies. I've talked to a lot of voters in the last couple of days. I've talked to voters that crossed to vote against the incumbent BOC members and against Ferguson. I've also spoken to crossover voters that have crossed to vote for the incumbent BOC candidates and Ferguson.
To deny that there was a crossover vote is about as rediculous as it being orchestrated. Many of the people that comment on these same articles were the ones talking about being "Democrat for a Day".
Elmo 9 months, 2 weeks ago
How do you think McCain wound up as the GOP Presidential nominee in 2008? The democrats cross-voted in droves around the country to make sure that our weakest candidate won, paving the way for the atrocity we have now.
When the libs do it, it's fine, but let a few Republicans do it in a local election and one would think high treason had been committed.
Double standards are alive and well on the left, as well as projection.
Too many people today are like the "Tin Man" in the "Wizard of Oz", they think merely holding a certificate from some diploma mill makes them smart, or qualified. But that "Oz", like many that we know of, was pure fiction, written by an author on drugs.
The "OK for me, but not for thee" stance if the libs has seen its day, and doesn't work anymore...the people are awakened.

If that was the case we would hv picked Herman Cain that's why they brought the scandal against him.
You all did it by getting rid of Hilary thinking Obama was the weakest. You about to play ur self again because Levette will win the general election. Lol
Sundance 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Herman Cain had the best ideas of the bunch. I still get mad that he isnt our nominee. He could have shaken things up in a good way.
Zo 9 months, 2 weeks ago
If Levette was smart he would ask Ferguson to come aboard. A great leader is only as great as the company he keeps. Ferguson has the education, essential skill sets, training, conservative values, etc. Levette has the people's support, family ties to community, & a great relationship with the officers. You put that together this county is safe, officers pay increase, & national standards are in place.
Levette is going to win regardless (the weakest was actually the strongest in votes), so he can dismiss his crossover voters, they did their job and got him nominated.
Zo 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Here's the game plan..please post;
Open primary. A registered voter may vote in any party primary regardless of his own party affiliation. When voters do not register with a party before the primary, it is called a pick-a-party primary because the voter can select which party's primary he or she wishes to vote in on election day. Because of the open nature of this system, a practice known as raiding may occur. RAIDING consists of voters of one party crossing over and voting in the primary of another party, effectively allowing a party to help choose its opposition's candidate. The theory is that opposing party members vote for the WEAKEST candidate of the opposite party in order to give their own party the advantage in the general election. An example of this can be seen in the 2012 Rockdale sheriff's primary with the nomination of Eric Levette as the Democrat candidate in the general election
AJK 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Is it any wonder why the people of Rockdale didn't choose Ferguson?
Mr. Ferguson, crossover vote or not, this is politics. If you can't stand the heat, perhaps you shouldn't go into the kitchen! It's time for you to just enjoy your retirement from Fulton County.
Zo 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Post my comments.....BOCBS please don't try this game. Tell the truth you know it was orchestrated, but because Ferguson was the victim of this cowardly act you want to down play it. You need to be watching your own...when people doing wrong they think wrong. You all so busy thinking Oden & Oz doing wrong it because you all are DOING WRONG!
Open primary. A registered voter may vote in any party primary regardless of his own party affiliation.

Well, Zoey, what you need to do is politic to END the "open primary" system...FOR BOTH SIDES.
the "run-off" should be like a "play-off in sports, each side picking their best players to compete against the competition.
Obama has so divided this country that "non-partisan" politics will not work. People are too well-informed these days and the lies of the left are being exposed as soon as the are spoken.
But, in reality, Ferguson would not have won against Wigginton in November, anyway. So, like all of your comments, it's a moot point.
Get over it!
LoveIt 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Excuse me, but there many, many of us who remain independents by choice. We choose to remain independent of the nasty back and forth that goes on between Democrats and Republicans today in the name "political debate." I refuse to register in either party. If it were not for us independents, there would be even more polarization in this country.
The only people who think I should have to register in a party are the rabid extremists in each party. I thought this was America. I have freedom of choice.
Independents and their impact on our voting choices keep us more moderate in this country than we would be if we had to register in a party. Then, if we had that system, we would not even have to vote, since a handful of "buddies in both parties" try to control who runs for office.
Mr. Ferguson, when thinking people vote, it is frequently a vote against one candidate and for another. That does not mean it is crossover. It is simply choice. By your response of blaming your loss on "crossover," you have confirmed to the voters that they made the right choice. The voters here have spoken.
Frustrated 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Why is it so hard to believe the people of Rockdale County chose Eric Levett over Ferguson? Eric is a hometown person that grw up with our Sheriff's Office just like Sheriff Wiggington. Ferguson comes from Fulton County where he was part of the proven dishonest and corrupt machine they called a Sheriff's Dept. Dont blame the crossover vote Mr Ferguson, blame yourself.
REK 9 months, 2 weeks ago
oooops...you busted me Mr. Ferguson. Us Republican's are so sneaky. I am sure no Democrat's jumped to the Republican ballot in attempt to keep an oppenent off the ballot in November. If Mr. Levett happens to beat Mr. Wigington I would be ok with that. The thought of you being in that office scares me. Please go to another county to run.

Where was tis "raid" ordered, at the drive-thru window? Were the fries "supersized"? How about the "special sauce"?
Zo, you live in fantasyland with "That's not fairrrrrr" as a slogan. Whining is your modus operandi, everything from "orchestrated raids" to "The Citizen won't print my posts". I assuming that you're an adult, but you rants sound like an angry pubescent teenager.
Years ago my Dad's car stalled over on Milstead Avenue. A rude lady in the car behind him set in to blow her horn, repeatedly. Finally, having heard enough, my Dad waked back to the lady's car and told her, "Ma'am, if you'll go up there and get my car started, I'll be more than happy to sit here and blow your horn for you!"
That's you, Zo, blowing your horn...now why don't you step forward and fix the "problem" you so loudly exclaim exists?
Toot-toot.
Sundance 9 months, 2 weeks ago
It's not cheating Zo. It's civic responsibility. If people thought that Ferguson would be bad for their county, they have a responsibility to try to get him out of the race. I did not jump in this election but I did the same thing against Cynthia Mckinney when she was running for 4th district against Hank Johnson in that primary a few years ago. Mckinney was embarrassing us in Washington and I wanted her out so I did what I thought was best for our district. It was my responsibility as a citizen to vote against her. I wish people would have voted out OZ and Oden too. They are bad for our county also.

U all could hv waited until November, but u feared Ferguson. Wiggington is beatable & Ferguson was the Man to do it. FYI, Raiding another party is not an example of man standing up (doesn't speak volumes of ones character), it's more alaign with a boy running.
That Ferguson.......striking fear into the incumbent & his followers. Wow, now that's some Man stuff!!!
gsm7476 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Zo who cares he lost. Under current voter rules you can vote in either primary. If you do not like it change the law. We have 2 good men running let the best man win. Fergenson can run in 4 year if he likes. But when one has sour grapes after an eletion they do not do as well next time. example Nixion in 1960 he could have complained about voting in IL but he did not and came back in 68. Lose with Grace and the public will respect you. So Zo you are getting as bad as the nuts you complain about in Newton County. so drop it and vote. That is what changes things.

Ferguson, would you please stop making all these comments under the name of "Zo". You lost. Let it go!!! I do have a question though, why didn't you run for Fulton County Sheriff? They pulled Richard Langford out of the woodworks to run again and he lost. That was your chance right there to be the sheriff. So, why didn't you run for Fulton County Sheriff? Just curious...

Levette will have to reach out to Ferguson if he wants to win. Because without the Dems & others who really want Ferguson (minus u alls vote Levette lost) Levette won't hv enough votes to beat Wiggington.

Cross over you say? Why yes, I crossed over to vote on the Democrat ticket. Simply because I wanted Oden and Furg out of the picture. I wish more voters would have crossed and voted Oden out. I believe that Nes will lose in November. Hill has a good chance to win, but we had him before and all he should is how big of a baby he can be. But I will take him over Oden. To be honest, I wish Mr. Glenn Sears would run again. The county is turning upside down. Oden is asking all department heads to fill thier budgets out for 2013. However, they must go by the 2010 budget year. How is that going to work? It's not, due to more employees being hired since then and more problems that has arised since the 2010 budget year. It's going to be a rough ride the next few years.

And if Levett has any intellegence he will stay far and clear of Ferguson if he wants any chance of winning.

An open primary would not have changed the outcome. It would still be Wigington and Levett in the November General Election and Ferguson STILL would have lost.

You increased your chances by crossover voting, legal, but weak. For a guy like Ferguson, who yall swear up & down is a nodody. Oddly, he has struck fear in the hearts of many in Rockdale & Vpub you included.
To me a feared sheriff is what I want protecting me.

BIG DIFFERENCE between being "feared" and being "respected". A "feared" sheriff should only strike fear in the lawLESS, not law abiding citizens.
I would imagine the lady he tried to gr...er...arrest in Augusta feared him, too.
Somehow, I just can't picture ol' Fergie as "Matt Dillion" telling the thugs to "get outta Dodge"...after all (as said by Eric Holder regarding the black panthers), "they're my people!".
You'll need another sales pitch for ol' "Fearless Fergie", because the others are pure oboloney". The decision has been made, if you and he want to bury your heads in the sand and pretend it's someone else's fault that he lost, well, I hope you thrive in your land of make-believe.
