Voter fraud, including vote buying, forged ballots, and absentee ballot abuse have been issues in Rockingham's political history. A city councilman was even recently named in a controversy alleging absentee ballot irregularities. The document calls on citizens to vote on November 2nd to show politicians that the people demand open and honest elections without backroom deals or political tricks and shenanigans through their votes. It promotes a city council governed by principles of open and fair elections without voter fraud.

1. Vote Buying.
Forged Ballots.
Voter Fraud.
These have all been a part of Rockingham’s political
history. Even one incumbent City Councilman has
been named in a recent controversy alleging absentee
ballot abuse and irregularities.
Haven’t we had enough
of this type of sleazy,
backroom politics?
The people of Rockingham deserve better than politics-as-usual. We’ve left
politics to the "good-ole-boys" and you see what we have now.
We need a City Council governed by the principles of open, honest elections.
Vote buying, forged absentee ballots and voter fraud don’t have a place
in Rockingham anymore.
On Tuesday, November 2nd, tell the backroom
deal makers that you’ve had enough of their
political tricks and shananagans. Let’s show
them that the people really run Rockingham and
we do so in open, fair and honest elections.
