Hoax Email Violates Election Law

hoax keyboard Hate crime hoaxesIf you have not heard, someone sent an email to the press claiming to be Republican Special election candidate (Rock 32) Yvonne Dean-Bailey.  In the email “she” announces that she is dropping out of the race.  None of that is true.  What it is, however, is a violation of election law and if the perpetrator is caught they are guilty of a misdemeanor.

666:6 False Documents, Names or Endorsement. – Any person who shall, without authority, sign the name of any other person to any letter or other document, or falsely represent that any other has written such letter or document, knowing such representation to be false, for the purpose of influencing votes, or who shall by false representation, use, employ or assign the name of any other person, or a fictitious name on a radio or television broadcast or other means of communication, to signify endorsement of a political party, candidates or programs, or, for the purpose of influencing votes, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

This comes to me courtesy of Ed Mosca, who in a letter to the AG’s office (Asst. AG Stephen Labonte, NH Dept. of Injustice) outlines the hoax, the applicable statue violated (above) , and observes who benefits by suppressing voter turn out for Dean-Bailey.

Obviously, Mann and the New Hampshire Democrat Party (NHDP) would benefit by suppressing voter turnout for Dean-Bailey by misleading the voters into believing that Dean- Bailey had dropped out of the race. I would also note that the NHDP, through various young and aggressive staffers, has been highlighting on social media letters-to-the-editor in the Concord Monitor supportive of Mann and critical of Dean-Bailey. Clearly, the NHDP believes that the voters are paying close attention to the Concord Monitor.

Given that the election is only days away, and given that the email may have been sent to voters as well as media, I knew you would want to have this as soon as possible, so I am sending it electronically.

Yes, Ed, and we know the AG’s office will hop right to it, don’t we?
