Virginia: Don't return ANY absentee ballot that you did NOT request |
|
Source: Email
I got this note yesterday. My niece almost sent the form in because she thought it was real. She lives in Fairfax and the envelope was addressed to Richmond. Rove is going after Virginia!
The story is all over Progressive Talk Radio today about the McCain campaign sending absentee ballot applications to registered democrats or people that have donated to Obama's campaign. These ballots are deliberately misleading and have postage paid return addresses that are for an election clerk that is outside of your city or town. What this will end up doing is either having your vote not counted, or if you return one of these, they will cite you for election fraud, saying that you already voted absentee. These ballots are only being sent out in 'purple states' and this is a big deal. This is called voter caging, and is a huge problem.
The McCain campaign is stealing this election as we speak. Please get this information out to as many people as you can and tell anyone you know who has received one of these ballots that they need to contact their city election clerk or the supervisor of elections immediately. Also call the local media and let them know what is going on. The main stream media is never going to cover this so we have to depend on our ground campaign to get the word out to our voters.
_____________________________
I personally, have received 4 of these "absentee ballots" from the McCain camp. ALL of them coming just days after I made donations to Obama. I'm afraid we haven't seen the bottom of this ugliness.

1. My wife got one in her maiden name. |
|
Knowing that she is registered with her married name, she just threw it away.

In Virginia too. Well, that was expected, but an alert is needed.
My son is driving in from Charlottesville in Nov. rather than taking any chance that his absentee ballot will not being counted---for any reasons.

I have been too involved outside of the DU to get to the DU but could you please post the fraudulent form or send to Senator Webb.
They (Rove cagers) got busted in Wisconsin. Another few states and this should go national headlines...

I threw them away (seeing McCain's face sent me into a fit of rage). If another one shows up, I will be happy to post and forward to Sen. Webb.
