The St. Johns County Republican Party (SJCRP) is looking for who’s responsible for sending out fake voter guides.
– The St. Johns County Republican Party is looking for who’s responsible for sending out fake voter guides.Denver Cook, the SJCRP chair explained the difference between the two voter guides.
“This is our real voter guide, you can see on the back side of it, we explain why we did, we have the required disclaimers on the bottom,” Cook said. The real guide endorses eight candidates in the primary, and the fake one endorses eight different candidates.Cook said the party was notified about the fake guides Friday when people received them in the mail.
“You can see that it was mailed from Jacksonville on Aug. 7 with a stamp and no return address,” Cook said."We wouldn’t have mailed it from Jacksonville but additionally these cards aren’t prepared to be mailed,” Cook said. “There’s no way for us to put a stamp or an address on them. The other thing is we don’t have.”He also said this could negatively affect those they’ve endorsed by losing out on votes.
“I would call this beyond dirty politics,” Cook said. “Dirty politics you would see the hate mail that comes out on individuals or attack pieces that are fabricated that are based on a sliver of truth and blown up to be this whole thing. This is so far beyond that. This is outright fraud and criminal.”The St. John’s Democratic Party has had nothing to do with or knowledge of these events until today’s reporting. We don’t know of any organizations or individuals who do.
