Although it’s been a few years since Wally was in college and
he was never a member of any fraternity, he remembers reading about some of
their “pranks” in the campus newspaper.
At most, they may have caused some minor inconveniences but were pretty
harmless. “In a few cases,” he said, “I
was even amused and enjoyed their creativity.”
In the case of a recent election prank perpetrated by the Koch brothers’,
Americans for Prosperity (AFP), however, the prank was neither amusing nor
creative and Wally says he is highly pissed.
“It’s bad enough they think us Democrats are composed of
stupid minorities and single young women who are easily fooled,” Wally wrote in
another of his unpublished letters to the editor. “But the fact that those arrogant Republican
assholes think that they can trick us with a third-rate fraternity prank is
pretty damn insulting.”
Recently,
the Democratic Party of North Carolina filed a complaint with the State Board
of Elections that AFP sent out mailers to targeted groups riddled with lies and
misinformation. In short, the
mailers instructed people to wrong voting places, on wrong days and then,
directed those with questions to an incorrect phone number and address. Such actions are illegal and are currently
being investigated by the North Carolina Board of Elections.
Meanwhile, AFP is saying the mistakes are unintentional and
Democrats are insisting that the mailers were a voter suppression tool.
“Seems like the Koch brothers think they’re cops and are
probably expecting to get away with committing felony crimes by either taking the
life or rights away from, what they seriously see as, lesser and undeserving
people."
