Deputy clerk challenging allegations

SANDPOINT — A Bonner County deputy clerk accused of election fraud intends to fight the allegations against him.

Counsel for Charles Konrad Wurm filed a not guilty plea on his behalf, court records show. Sandpoint attorney Fred Palmer’s notice of appearance in the case unsealed it, revealing that Wurm is charged with official neglect or malfeasance.

A preliminary hearing to determine if there’s enough evidence to justify a trial in 1st District Court is Wednesday.
