Tricking Voters

2008-11-03 22:06:16.847164+01 by JT 1 comments

I've seen this AP article about using scare tactics on voters, but I haven't heard of this happening until this election.



Threatening to arrest black people at the polls, deport native-born people of Mexican descent, and even telling people that the Republican election is on Tuesday and due to crowding you should show up Wednesday for the Democratic elections... I'm thinking this will be an interesting turnout tomorrow

Saw this sign in downtown SF in the last election cycle.
