Joe, I have an interesting bit of information for you. I have a friend that was attending a SU sorority meeting tonight that was interupted by a SU fraternity guy with some flagrant SAPOA information. She told me that he stated that his landlord, by the name TJ (I'm assuming TJ Maloney), told him that he needed to get SU student renters registered to vote in the up coming Salisbury Council elections. He stated that he was told that student renters would be served eviction notices for failure to vote for Dryden, Dixon and Boda and blatantly denounced Cohen, Spies and Mitchell. He continued the explain how Cohen, Spies and Mitchell are going to force the 4-2 legislation upon college students making renting extremely expensive and unaffordable. He did not hand out any printed propaganda, but he did distribute voter registration forms.
This is clearly going to far legally, morally and ethically. SAPOA has made it perfectly obivious that they do not care for their tenants nor do they care to fight in a fair manner during this election. It is also interesting that SAPOA truly believes that they can get SU students to register to vote, but what they fail to realize is that a great majority are either not truly residents of Salisbury (most use their home address as their residence)or the students live in the County. Keep in mind that the Students dorm ARE NOT in the City so on campus residents are not considered residents.
To me, this is clearly voter intimidation and should not be tolerated. Is there any legal action that can be taken to curb these types of actions? I think that it would be adviseable for Cohen, Spies and Mitchell to hold open candidate forums on SU's campus to explain their platform and how it will truthfully affect SU students.
I hope Bill Reddish doesn't try to do this event live again with it's 1950's sound system!
Don't you worry. Come and see!
