It's annoying enough that you are accosted by political campaign workers with signs and loud voices when you go to vote, but this past election for Village Council consisted of Center Grove bullies who accosted people at the polls and basically handed them a list of whom to vote for.
I know for a fact that one candidate who was in the running and is for 5 am bar closings and a different agenda for the Glass House in Peacock Park, was out shaking hands on election day and just as she would leave people, one of the Center Grove Mafia would come up to the person, tell the voter that the candidate was full of crap and then they would hand them a list of whom to vote for, following them all the way up to the door of the polling location.
Is this legal? It's coercion and I think it is illegal. Also being too close to the polling place is very illegal.
I would love to post the names of these people, but until this is in a court of law, there is no need to libel myself here now. Those in question may be facing a judge.
There are a handful of bullies who think they are calling the shots, but the tide is turning. There is a new Village Council and a new mayor who is well aware of what goes on here. We have spoken at length about it and there will be changes.
I would encourage all of you to keep sending me reports on these communistic tactics. They are breaking the law in most cases with lies, coercion and libel and we have some legal professionals who are ready to start taking the maters into the courts -- pro bono.
