Sunday night voters were subjected to a Spam attack by a supporter of Alexander for District Attorney.
The Spam attack started around 9:45 and continued for over fifteen minutes.
The e-mails did not open properly and no intelligible message was contained in them despite many of them being almost 16K in size.
The Spam attack claimed in its headings to shed truth on incumbent DA Mike Reise’s sale of a firearm possessed by his department. Of course DA’s have broad powers to keep and transfer firearms. They are not subject to the National Firearms Act of 1934 which regulates many weapons. Alexander does not seem to grasp this important power of the office he is trying to gain.
Alexander has tried in the closing days of this election to smear DA Reise by portraying the sale as “gun trafficking across state lines.” His campaign is in deep trouble since he admitted his addiction to methamphetamine caused him to cheat clients, and creditors.
The use of Spam is a new development in Del Norte politics.
A deeply troubling aspect of the Spam attack was Alexander’s inclusion of many e-mail addresses owned by the Del Norte County Unified School District. After the problems of e-mail of a political nature being sent and received on government owned computers in the 2004 elections, it would seem to be an obvious ethical breech to Spam attack the school district.
