( North Carolina )--Some 6,400 staffers and students at Winston-Salem State University received e-mail exhortations Monday to take advantage of early voting and help the Democratic Party, setting off local Republicans.
After a complaint by Nathan Tabor, the chairman of the Forsyth County GOP, university officials acknowledged that the e-mail — sent from the student-affairs division — was improper.
The university cited a state law that prohibits the use of a state employee’s authority or state property to support or oppose a person or an issue in any election.
“We regret it,” said Nancy Young, the director of public relations at WSSU. “We sent out a retraction and said to disregard the earlier e-mail.”
That wasn’t the end of it, though.

Heads will roll.
I bet they are chomping at the bit to find the person or persons responsible and fire them (sarc).
Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) has named Ruth N. Smith as ... Nancy Young. Director of Public Relations. 336-750-8764.
Suuure you do, Nancy.
“We regret it,” said Nancy Young,
Nancy, you mean you regret getting caught and you’ll be finding the whistleblower ASAP.
Who will get fired for not supervising the student affairs dept. properly? Apologies are worthless without accountability.
You're a liar, Nancy; and a damn lousy one, at that.
I see, the Michelle O defense, citing ignorance.....
ennybuddy wanna make book on how long before the guilty party gets fired and prosecuted?
didn’t think so...
Democrat dirty deed hand book still in use.
Looks like they got out FOUR emails reminding people to go vote early to support the democrat party...
1. The original that encouraged people to go vote early to help democrats.
2. The retraction that apologized for asking people to go vote early to help democrats.
3. The “equal time” email that stated in an effort to balance our encouragement for people to go vote early to help democrats we also remind you that you can vote a republican as well.
4. The retraction of the “equal time” email that that was sent out because it was wrong to encourage people to go vote early to help out democrats....
M’er F’ers need to have their asses beat.
>>>>“We regret it,” said Nancy Young, the director of public relations at WSSU. “We sent out a retraction and said to disregard the earlier e-mail.”
You can’t recall a fart.
Someone will have to clean the blackboard for the rest of the week.
Wow. NC ping? This is ridiculous.
In a previous election, an almost unreadable proposition passed by referendum. It included a mandate for any college to be its own precinct if it was more than one half mile from its nearest precinct. The whole college vote (home/school/both?) is an outrage.
Hey if the first wookie can campaign inside a polling station and plead ignorance what’s the big deal here? Maybe they didn’t know it was illegal/S
Just another reason every Conservative should stop all ALUMNI contributions to these leftist indoctrination camps. This should become a nationwide movement.
I am already tired of Democrat cheating. We are going to have to keep a sharp eye out this time.
...and not let them steal the elections with fraud.
I guess pleading “ignorance of the law” is NO excuse for us little people, but a okay for the RATS.
Republicans should get the email addresses and send an email to all with their own message about how student loans can’t be repaid without jobs. or whatever message they want to send.
