When State Board of Elections Chairman Larry Leake introduced a document outlining Democrats elections plans, he said the document might never be made public.
The document outlines a plan by the N.C. Democratic Party to coordinate get-out-the-vote and other efforts to push a full slate of Democrats.
The News & Observer has requested access to the document, which has been submitted to the board and, the newspaper argues, should be a public record.
Board member Bob Cordle, in his questions to former party official Scott Falmlen, noted that Republicans would want to see the document as much as newspapers. Cordle told Falmlen that the Democratic Party would have to make a show of what information needed to be kept secret.
"You're going to have to show us what's proprietary and what's considered to be proprietary," Cordle said.
