Ruffin Poole, who was Gov. Mike Easley's special counsel, does not have to testify in the State Board of Elections hearings, a Superior Court judge has ruled.

Judge Henry Barnette said that Poole was correct in claiming attorney-client privilege in a motion filed this morning in Wake County.

Update: The board voted to appeal the judge's order.
