Share Del Mar Alliance, a political group that supports vacation rentals in the San Diego, CA town of Del Mar, sent out an email encouraging people that own rental properties in the area to register to vote in the county. The email was intended to help drive support for rental homes as The Del Mar City Council is deciding whether to regulate or ban the short-term rentals in the area. Critics complained that the email's message was illegal and the group followed up with an email recommending people to vote where they live.
