Republican voter suppression scam in WA State

From my email--

Voter suppression: Eleanor Munro of the MDC read an email message at the request of MDC Director Joan Burton. Ms Burton’s daughter received a phone call from the Washington State Democratic Voter Identification Committee (which does not exist) noting that because of printer errors she should not vote until she received a new ballot. She wanted to warn members of this effort to keep Democrats from voting.

FBI Voter Intimidation Hotline: 202-514-1888.

Yet another case of voter suppression. This must violate federal law. People need to see jail time so this sort of behavior ends.

needs to call FBI Voter Intimidation Hotline: 202-514-1888 and
report that number to authorities, so they can trace it.

Oh please God, let these bastards have the hammer of justice
come down on them hard, put 'em in the slammer, make them
an example, SO THIS MESSAGE GETS SENT.

"DON'T FUCK WITH OUR VOTE!!!!"

4. Thanks for the heads up, eridani. That was a bit clumsy of them to suggest waiting for a new ballot.

I and some friends just spent 3 hours today on our ballots and I was showing them things on DU, videos, articles, etc. We feel really good. Straight ticket and checked who was endorsing the different measures to check for Repigs. Then voted against that foul Grover Nordquist mouthpiece Tim Eyeman's 11185.

I'd love the chance to participate in taking down these election fraudsters.

I hardly expected election fraud here in Washington. I suspect they are after the Governors Position and to turn the old Sixth District red. (The 6th is the one Norm Dicks held for ages, it was recently redrawn excluding much of the Tacoma Lakewood area.)
