I so very much wish to believe this isn't true. But it absolutely wouldn't surprise me, and so I pass it on.
The story is all over Progressive Talk Radio today about the MCain campaign sending absentee ballot applications to registered democrats or people that have donated to Obama's camapign.
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.
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 immediately. Also call the local media and let them know what is going on.
JUST REMEMBER, IF YOU DIDN'T REQUEST IT.... DON'T SEND IT IN.
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.
