This guy might not be able to vote for himself

NEWS RELEASE

AUSTIN WILLIAMS
LIBERTARIAN CANDIDATE
FOR SAULT STE. MARIE

Suffrage rally Sault Ste. Marie on Saturday, May 31 at noon - 2:30 p.m.

A rally is planned to protest against the Fair Elections Act, and to demand regulations on voting and elections be reduced provincially.

The rally will occur Saturday, May 31 at noon - 2:30 p.m. at the Sault Ste Marie Courthouse, next to Service Ontario.

The first few speakers have been selected, and include rally organizer and local Ontario Libertarian Party Candidate for MPP Austin Williams.

Williams has experienced firsthand systematic disenfranchisement from the election and voting system, and due to technicalities may not be able to vote at all in the election he is a candidate for.

The stage will be opened up afterward to every person who wants to speak.

This rally is about Suffrage for all people, and so all are welcome to attend, participate, and speak, including other party candidates and members.

There will also be information available about who is eligible to vote, where to vote, and what ID requirements are in place.

The organizers of this rally implore all people to make certain they have everything required to vote beforehand.

It may be difficult to do without advanced preparation.

The overall motive of this rally is to call attention to the fact that voting restrictions heavily impact the ability of the lower class, university students, the homeless and people who have recently moved to vote both federally and provincially.

Furthermore, in a period of the lowest voter turnouts in Canada’s history, voting should be made easier, not harder.

In the words of the recently disgraced American Senator McConnell: “Want to keep minority voters from the polls? Fine, set up hindrances to 'prevent voter fraud'.”

This is what tight electoral laws accomplish.
