The Koch Maladministration Way!!!

The Koch Campaign continues to spam call locals with faux polling calls to encourage voters to vote for Koch.
With apparently money to burn, the Koch campaign continues to operate a phone calling barrage of locals, including multiple calls to people who are only becoming ever more resolute to not be voting to reelect Mayor Thomas P. Koch for yet another term in office.
Additionally, calls are even being made to his opponent and various of her immediate family.
Reading from a script

The format of the calls is “push-polling” and which is the use of a phone script that initially strikes one as a poll but then quickly turns into a pimping of the candidate paying for the spam calling.
Normally such calls are done in advance to well in advance of election day, however, in this instance the spamming is expected to continue unrelentingly as both early voting and election day itself approach and thus perhaps hinting of concern among the Koch Machine’s inner circle.
Regardless, as well as needless to say, Quincy Quarry recommends that Quincy locals opt to let incoming calls from unknown phone numbers go to voice mail even more than usual until after the election.
TOMMY WE LOVE YOU!!
You forgot to indicate that you were using satire.
Louie,
Not satire. Koched-up locals make for easy axing.
Ah. Got it.
Saturday 10/28/2023. What a beautiful Fall day in Quincy today with temperatures getting into the 80’s with bright sunshine. As I was not sure I would be in town on voting day, I decided to travel down to City Hall and cast my votes in the early voting. I parked my car in the parking lot adjacent to City Hall right in front of the Quincy T station. It was quite the scene. Campaigners surrounding the walkways leading into City Hall carrying election signs predominantly for both Mayoral candidates. There had to be at least a hundred of them and they were all over the place in the Mall area outside City Hall. On my walk in, I was even greeted with a “hello” from Mayor Koch in person which was a surprise. I am not 100% sure, but I thought I saw Mayor Koch’s opponent, Councillor Anne Mahoney chatting with some people also here in the mall prior to entering Quincy City Hall to cast my vote. Upon leaving, I headed out towards the historic church where two former U.S. Presidents along with their wives lie entombed in the basement. Yes, I thought Quincy is indeed a very historic city. As I continued on this little loop back to my car, I passed two park benches that were side-by-side and each one had a person sprawled on it sleeping. One had a pillow and was covered with coat or blanket with what looked like a hood over his head obviously a male. This person had left a partially full clear plastic container containing food on the sidewalk immediately in front of his park bench. Prior to entering City Hall to cast my vote, I did notice a Quincy Policy Officer on foot making his rounds through the people entering and leaving City Hall presumably to cast their votes among the surprisingly large number of campaignors carrying signs for various candidates. So, yes there was a police presence here as expected with this large crowd at this early voting event at approximately 11:00 AM. Yet, here were two people sleeping on a park bench not more than 10 or 15 yards away from where Mayor Koch had previously greeted me on my way into vote with at least one Quincy Policeman patrolling this area within the mall. As I strolled my way back to my car, I thought to myself is this what Quincy is coming to?
