Is this true?
AP - Newswisre - 11/6/2006 - 11:33AM

Due to unusally high number of voters expected at polls tomorrow, the Democrats filed a law suit to get voting extending to two days. The Ninth Circuit Court of appeals has ruled that registered Republicans are to vote on Tuesday, November 7th and registered Democrats are to vote on November 8th. Independents, other non-mainstream parties and unaffialted voters can vote on either day.

If a Democrat tries to vote on Tuesday the voter will be instructed to come back on Wednesday. If a Republican tries to vote on Wednesday, the voter will not be allowed to vote. Ken Mehlman, Chairman of the Republican National Committee said he plans to appeal this to the surpeme court as it has the effect of giving the Democrats two days to vote and it allows exit polling to predict how many democrats are needed to vote the following day to win.

Howard Dean, praised the 9th Circuit's ruling saying, "The people's voices will be heard this eleciton." Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia Center for Politics said he doesn't expect the Supreme Court to intervene as the the Republican's would have to show irreprable harm if the election is extended to two days. "Harm can't be shown until after the election so the ruling will most likely stand. If the Supreme Court doesn't intervene by midnight tonight the ruling will stand."

31. They did this in Ohio in 2004.
The GOP told black people to vote on Nov. 3rd, but election day was Nov. 2nd. This is a dirty trick.

40. I'm not seeing an indication of that at all
Let's not jump the gun. It's quite possible that this person put it up here on DU for vetting by a group he/she trusts to spot these things. I haven't seen indication that Libstery is playing. :shrug:

26. That's why I posted "first hint"
As to the warning, I'm not ready to jump the gun. Let's see where the link comes. I'm betting there won't be a link. :)

37. Hey Libstery , Is It True That Your Mother Is A Whore?
I'm just asking.

I'm not saying she's a whore. I just think that fair minded people might disagree on whether you mother has sex for money with strangers.

38. Y'know, this is an old one, Libstery.
The GOP actually put flyers in black neighborhoods telling people to vote on the wrong day. So a little e-mail isn't going to fool us. Try again.

44. Two reasons.
1. They're children. I'm pretty sure most freepers are children.

2. They never finished high school.

Just to perform this excellent public service.
