Local Elections

If this happened to a pro Democrat station don't you think this would be the top story on FOX which would lead the Attorney General to take action.

This guy will end up with a better slot on this radio station after all is said and done.

WVNN radio host Dale Jackson posted on the station's Web site the release that said those who planned to vote for Democrat Laura Hall shouldn't vote until Wednesday because of overcrowding at the polls. Hall lost the state Senate special election to Republican Paul Sanford.

Jackson told The Times' Tuesday night he had been informed by Chapman's office that unauthorized use of the seal was not allowed and he conceded that he should not have used the seal.

However, he defended the fake press release - which purported to be issued by "Marion S. Barber, secretary of the Office of Electoral Elections" -- as "parody" and said the it is "absurd" to think that anyone would take it seriously.

When U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Mobile, was attorney general in 1995, his office issued an advisory opinion that says using the official state seal or an image or facsimile of it to further trade or business violates state law. A conviction could bring a prison term of up to 10 years.

Bence said an attorney in King's office will review the material and the incident, and decide whether it should be turned over to the investigative unit. It could ultimately be presented to a grand jury, he said.

"They'll have to look into it and they'll come up with a ruling," Jackson said when informed of the investigation. He declined further comment.

MONTGOMERY, AL - The host of a Huntsville radio talk show who posted on the Internet a fake news release prominently using the official state seal could be facing a felony charge, a spokesman for the state attorney general's office said today.

Chris Bence, spokesman for Attorney General Troy King, said Secretary of State Beth Chapman had turned a copy of the phony press release over to the attorney general's office, and that a preliminary investigation is under way.

WVNN radio host Dale Jackson posted on the station's Web site the release that said those who planned to vote for Democrat Laura Hall shouldn't vote until Wednesday because of overcrowding at the polls. Hall lost the state Senate special election to Republican Paul Sanford.

Jackson told The Times' Tuesday night he had been informed by Chapman's office that unauthorized use of the seal was not allowed and he conceded that he should not have used the seal.

History

See G.Gordon Liddy or Ollie North

Anyone with a brain knows his misdeeds didn't affect the outcome of the election. Look at the station's daily lineup of shows and tell me what group of people view or listen to this station on a daily basis.

Question for you do you think he should get jail time after all he did break the law?

`

Personally, I don't whether what the guy did affected the election or not; and, since I'm not clairvoyant, I don't know what his intentions were (stupid practical joke or an attempt to change the course of the election). But, from what is contained in the story posted:

• How would anyone with a brain know his 'misdeeds' didnt affect the outcome of the election ???
  
  
  - Do you have the stats ???
  
  - Are you Dale Jackson ???​

• The station's "daily lineup" is not contained in the story posted; do you have personal knowledge the rest of us do not ???

• A spokesperson for the Attorney General's office said the matter is being looked into; How did YOU conclude, one way or the other, that the law was or was not, broken ???

• Shouldn't the question of whether he should get jail time come AFTER there is first a determination of guilt ???

P.S. Be sure you read the rules of this board.

-I’m glad you did respond because I like to know a person’s viewpoints.

-Based on one’s life and history no one knows all the affects or effects of events and that’s why some people make a conclusion for themselves. Conclusions are made everyday on the words in the Bible and if you believe every word in the bible to be the truth you would correct in certain parts of the U.S. and wrong in other.
Think about what is going on in Iran this weekend. Most people are saying the election had a prearranged winner and that is based on? My point is nothing is concluded based on facts only on what we call history. The Iranian statistics show the winner by a large margin; so who really cares about stats because they will lie.

-I did view the station’s website and yes it appears I do have additional information not posted.

-A person being convicted of any crime is basically up to prosecutor. There have been cases where DA’s have sent innocent people to jail and in one case that didn’t happen (Duke Lacrosse scandal). You can ask Alabama’s last Governor about a prosecutor’s power.

I'm not touching this.
