Fake robo-calls and letters from GOP camp to dems

[HowStern]

An

unknown group is distributing flyers (see the flyer after the jump) with official-looking letterhead around the area of Hampton Roads, Virgina that erroneously inform recipients that because of the crowds at the polls, the Virginia State Board of Elections is scheduling Republicans to vote on November 4th, and Democrats on the 5th.

edit: This excerpt is from a yahoo story about the same thing: "Similar fliers in Philadelphia warn that anyone with unpaid traffic tickets or outstanding arrest warrants could be jailed if they turn up at the polls on election day."

As long as they're not registering "Mickey Mouse," it's cool, right?

haha yeah. Deceiving and lying to first time/gullible voters is fine. Voter intimidation is good to go, too. But, turning in flagged registrations that are possibly fake like you are legally obligated to do, that will destroy the fabric of democracy!
