` November 2007 (UTC)   I object to the use of the word ``hoax`` in the title. From the hoax article: :Unlike a fraud or con (which is usually aimed at a single victim and are made for illicit financial or material gain), a hoax is often perpetrated as a practical joke, to cause embarrassment, or to provoke social change by making people aware of something. Many hoaxes are motivated by a desire to satirize or educate by exposing the credulity of the public and the media or the absurdity of the target. I think calling it a ``hoax`` is to side with Jackie Kelly's claim that this attempt to deceive voters about her (successor's) opponent was merely a joke. Perhaps ``fraud`` or ``deception`` would be better words to use in the title.   03:51, 24`
