Coatesville Dems: Eric Quick Sr. is not qualified to be on the ballot for Coatesville City Council.

Welcome to the Coatesville Dems Blog

Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

Eric Quick Sr. is not qualified to be on the ballot for Coatesville City Council.

He registered to vote in Coatesville on December 28, 2012. He registered to vote in East Brandywine Township on June 17, 2012.

The City of Coatesville City Charter requires at least one year of residency in the City of Coatesville for at least a year before running for election to the Coatesville City Council.

No one caught it before the ballots were printed.

I'm sure that Mr. Quick was unaware of the requirements to run for City Council.

The facts are irrefutable. I'm not sure if it needs to go to court or if the County Commissioners will not allow his name on the General Election ballot in the fall.

Chapter 2. CHARTER
Article II. City Council
