"VANCOUVER – Elections B.C. is having a hard time keeping up with a boom of bloggers who are publishing partisan messages during the current election campaign.
They're supposed to register themselves as advertising sponsors if they post a partisan position on a candidate, party, or referendum question.
"Under the Election Act, it will fall within the definition of election advertising, and we would ask them to register," says Jennifer Miller, of Elections B.C."
I guess I'll be advertising for the ANTI-MOONBAT party. Where do I register?
Angry in The Great White North and Small Dead Animals have some great perspectives on the issue.
