Dirty Voting: Email from Obama Campaign
October 15, 2008 1:55 pm Elections, ObamaThe dirty tricks have already begun. Republicans are shamelessly
attempting to prevent eligible Obama supporters from casting a vote:
* Election officials in some swing states have been illegally purging
voter registration rolls.1
* Fox News has been spreading false allegations about ACORN, a community
group that registers low-income people to vote–laying the ground for
challenges to legitimate voter registrations.23
* In Philadelphia, right-wing operatives have distributed flyers falsely
warning that anyone with so much as an unpaid parking ticket will be
arrested if he or she attempts to vote.4
* A GOP county chair in Michigan promised to block people whose homes
are in foreclosure from voting!5
And of course, the voting machines still in use in some swing states
suffer from serious security problems, including the lack of a paper audit
trail.
The best way to keep this election from being stolen is to win so big that
the dirty tricks won’t make any difference. The Obama campaign is reaching
out to millions of voters to make sure they get to the polls.
