Candidates seeking votes in local elections will “Smack Down the Vote” this Saturday, April 9, with an event that combines wrestling entertainment, a voter registration drive and the chance to meet and learn more about those running for office. American Premier Wrestling, partnering with Charter Conservatory for Liberal Arts and Technology, or CCAT, along with several other local businesses, is offering a free two-hour wrestling show along with a “meet and greet” and voter registration drive beginning at 5 p.m. Saturday, said Dr. Tom Caiazzo, political science professor at East Georgia State College and chairman of the CCAT Governing Board. The "professional wrestling sports entertainment show (is) to encourage the citizens of Bulloch County to become active participants in their democracy," he said.
