E-MAIL TO THE EDITOR: Republican Canvassers Offered To Deliver Ballot, University Place Resident Says

It follows a recent spate of complaints of door-to-door canvassers offering to deliver ballots.

Late yesterday afternoon (11/2/12) three people rang our doorbell in UP and offered to take care of "delivering" our ballots to the correct voting location. They had no visible ID, no literature and did not state what organizatiion they represented. They just wanted the ballots. I said we had mailed them a week ago. When pressed they said they were sent by the Pierce County Republican Party to "assist" voters.

This is happening all over the county, according to KING 5 News last night and an article on the KING 5 website.

Willard must be getting desperate.

West Side Branch logo
Ken Campbell May 23, 2013 at 11:51 am
I wonder how much this `re-branding' cost?? Perhaps the City of UP could get a deal on what they…Read More want to spend on `re-branding'! It still sounds like Tacoma is the preferred branch of Pierce County - that is, why is not `Pierce County Chamber of Commerce' - and what is the implied difference between `west side' and `south county' ? And, of course, that begs the question - is there an` east side' and a `north county' that is being ignored?? I don't know why I am so confused..maybe because their new logo has a haunting resemblance to that of a former company that went bankrupt... And, lastly, let us hope that `business in motion' is moving into our county, and not out of it..
