[arin-discuss] Fwd: [ARIN-Suggestions] New ACSP Suggestion 2014.10: CHANGES TO CANDIDATE SPEECHES

[Owen DeLong]

Election Rigging:

election rigging is the act of dishonestly organizing an election to get a particular result. it is an electoral fraud and an interference with theelection process.

I really don’t see how a public open and transparent expression of support for a particular candidate constitutes an electoral fraud or interference with the election process, let alone dishonestly organizing the election.
