Meeting commenters allege mass text told voters the election was canceled and accuse party impersonation
Summary
Two meeting commenters alleged that an individual sent a mass text telling voters the election was canceled and impersonated the party; commenters called the conduct "election fraud" and said they did not see prosecution information in the record.
Commenter 1, a commenter, said an individual sent a mass text to voters saying the election was canceled and that the sender presented the message as coming from the political party. "I think there was this guy that sent out a mass text Mhmm. To all the voters saying that the the the election was canceled," Commenter 1 said.
Commenter 2, a commenter, characterized the act as unlawful and said prosecutors had not pursued charges as far as they knew. "Yeah. He engaged in in my opinion, he engaged in election fraud," Commenter 2 said. Commenter 1 added, "That is election fraud." Commenter 2 later accused the sender of impersonating the party, saying the message "appeared as though the party was informing people of canceling caucus or something." Commenter 2 said the sender then criticized turnout after the fact.
Neither commenter identified the sender by name in the meeting record, and neither provided evidence of criminal filings; Commenter 1 said, "I can't comment on that," when asked about prosecution, and later said, "I hope it's in process because that that is election fraud." The meeting record does not include statements from election officials or law enforcement about an investigation or charges (not specified).
The comments were limited to attendee statements and did not record any formal motion, vote, or staff response in the meeting record.
