It's not anything I'd want to get involved in, you aren't going to change him. I'd hide him from my Facebook and be done with it.

Not without consulting a lawyer and threatening a libel suit.

If everyone knows he has a drinking problem and drug abuse history, I think I'd give them credit to know that whatever he's posting are the ramblings of a drunkard/druggie and dismiss them when it comes to voting.
I'm not sure what, if anything, can be done to stop it, unless the people involved want to sue for slander or defamation or whatever they could.

No, I wouldn't try to stop him unless he was writing things about me personally. It's up to the individuals he's defaming to take action on their own behalf. I'd stay well away from it and probably at least hide him, if not unfriend or block him, if I didn't want to read his rantings.
Do these officials know what he's doing? If they don't and it was getting really bad, I might let one or two of them know it's happening, but I wouldn't try to stop him myself.

We have someone like that on our neighborhood message board. I'm not sure she's drunk, but by now everyone has her number. We have mutual friends, and I expected her to be normal. Instead she's someone I don't care to meet. I'm sure FB readers have learned about your crazy poster too.

If everyone knows he's the town substance abuser, his comments really shouldn't have an effect on the election. However, you could be proactive and post positive comments to counter his negative ones.

Ignore even if it's a difficult thing to do. Any interaction will just fuel his fire.

You can try reporting him and give the reason why but other than that, I don't know what else can be done.

I haven't found a way, but just let them bring about there own downfall. That's what happened with the person I know of that was posting lies.
