Delaware | HIGH TURNOUT AND A LETTER OPENER

The News Journal reports above average turnout and this tale of voter enthusiasm gone awry:

County police spokesman Cpl. Trinidad Navarro said Eric McNair, of the Woods Edge Apartments, was charged with carrying a concealed deadly weapon – a felony – and disorderly conduct. Navarro said officers were called to the firehouse at 1100 Brandywine Blvd., a polling place, because McNair was shouting his support for his candidate. When the officer took the man aside and asked him if he had any weapons on him, McNair reached into his pocket and pulled out a letter opener with a 5-inch blade, Navarro said.

The NJ kindly doesn’t mention who this guy was “campaigning” for.

Thanks for signing in, . Now you can comment. (Click here should you choose to sign out.)

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
