An election commission found Walker guilty of campaigning a week early. A Quigley worker campaigned too close to polls. An unregistered Walker worker dropped literature at students’ doors. Walker lost campaign privileges in one Marquette facility, and lost a day of campaigning as another penalty.
The day before the election, the student-produced Marquette Tribune endorsed Quigley. That surprised Quigley, who expected that his rabble-rousing style would be frowned on. The paper, though, also said Walker was qualified.
That day’s newspaper became a limited edition, students told the Quigley campaign. They’d seen Walker workers and/or College Republicans emptying editions of the Tribune from racks in high-traffic buildings, according to Quigley. Administrators soon got involved in the dustup.
"I heard by mid-day that people couldn’t find it," Quigley told us. Tribune officials also complained to administrators.
Stung by the endorsement, Walker’s camp plastered campus with an election-eve flier criticizing Quigley’s political tactics.
It was gentle stuff, but the Trib took offense, publishing an election-day editorial headlined, "Walker unfit." It decried his "mudslinging" and said another factor in its reversal on Walker being qualified was the alleged theft of papers, which Walker’s camp denied.
The next day’s vote wasn’t close; Quigley won 1,245 to 947.
I know how to find the Left wing attacks, they are bountiful.
Your assertion that it’s true is another question entirely.
Your argument is entirely and completely founded in these Democrat propaganda pieces. That is not the behavior of a conservative on a conservative forum. In fact your behavior is straight out of the Rules for Radicals.
What ever happened to Quigley, anyway. Oh, I remember, he was arrested and removed from his position in student government. You conveniently left that part out, didn’t you?
