Trailer park tenants say landlord sends note implying a vote for Biden is a vote for increased rent

"We are not telling you how to vote," a copy of the letter sent to 9NEWS says. "We are just telling our tenants what we will do according to the results."

FORT MORGAN, Colo. — The landlord of a trailer park in Fort Morgan allegedly sent a note to residents warning rent would most likely double in price if Joe Biden becomes President.

9NEWS received several emails from Fort Morgan residents concerned about the legality of the letter, calling it a form of voter suppression.

The Colorado Secretary of State's office confirmed they have received a complaint, and told 9NEWS they passed it along to the Attorney General.

According to several pictures of the letter sent to 9NEWS, it reads:

"TO ALL TENANTS:
Please understand IF Joe Biden is elected as our next President, everything you do and have to pay for will change completely.

Everything will be increased. Like paying ALOT (sic) more in taxes, utilities, gasoline, groceries, new permits, fees and regulations…everything! This also means YOUR RENT will be increased to cover these expenses. Most likely, rent would DOUBLE in price!

IF the current President is re-elected, WE WILL NOT RAISE THE RENT FOR AT LEAST 2 YEARS!

Voting is your choice and we are not telling you how to vote. We are just informing our tenants what WE will do according to the election results.

If Trump wins, we all win. If Biden wins, we all lose.

VOTE on November 3, 2020."

We're "not telling you how to vote," just threatening to punish you if you don't vote the way we want.

This is pretty illegal. I like how all the Trump supporters are pretty blatantly violating election law.

So basically, "If Trump wins, you're stuck in this trailer park forever. If Biden wins, you're moving onto better living conditions, because why they hell would you stay here if you're paying double the rent?"

It is amazing how conservatives gets away with complaining about voter fraud and voter manipulation and yet they are the ones constantly being caught engaging in voter fraud and voter manipulation. Then they use examples of their fellow conservatives being caught as proof that their voter suppression tactics is needed! So brazen and shameless.

They are having their cake and eating it too.

It's amusing how this dickhead frames this as a 'we' scenario, when they are the one solely, arbitrarily pulling the strings on this situation.

Hope these people get some legal representation to sue this dipshit into oblivion.

Fuck that guy!
Also, the risk vs. reward for him is through the roof. The chance of changing the election outcome in Colorado is damn near zero while the chance that this leads to major legal issues is quite high. It's almost like Trump supporters are dumb as shit.

Just another example of a landlord being totally reasonable by threatening to dramatically increase rent if an event that their tenants have very little control over happens.

Really hope the qualifies as voter intimidation. Also sounds like a great way to convince people to move out when you treat them like this.

That's way out in the boonies of CO past Greenley where it's hardcore red Trumper area.

Still, someone needs to drag his redneck ass into court over this.

Everything conservatives/Republicans complain about and accuse liberals/Democrats of is projection.

Weird how the "silent majority" of Trumpers need to resort to this type of behavior.
