Sad, pathetic and ILLEGAL

Just in case you need assurances that we should NOT get complacent and that one way republicans could win would be to steal this election, I present you this pathetic and illegal example.

Multiple newspapers in Virginia (Richmond Times Dispatch for one) are reporting that fliers are being distributed in the Hampton Roads area that look to deliberately confuse voters about which day they are supposed to vote…

The fucking nerve…

The fliers blatantly advise republicans to vote on one day (November 4th) and Democrats on another, November 5th.

The flier features the logo of the State Board of Elections and states that the voting dates were split in two in order to help ease the load on local balloting officials.

Again... the fucking nerve.

It should be noted that NO emergency action has been take by the Virginia General Assembly, which isn’t even in session, and doesn’t even have the authority to change the date of a federal election… Virginians in all parties join the rest of the country and vote on November 4.

This whole thing pisses me (and Scott) off to no end… that some group would so blatantly attempt to lie and confuse people in order to get a certain person elected is not only sad, pathetic, and illegal but also an insult to the democracy that his country was founded on…

Yes, some people will argue that this attempt at thievery caters exclusively to the “low information voter” (stupid people in crude terms), but that shouldn’t matter. The target audience shouldn’t matter… it’s still an attempt to steal the election while insulting the basic tenets of Democracy and the perpetrators should be found, charged, convicted (and thus lose their ability to vote – sweet irony revenge) and jailed.

In fact, the stupid people are the republicans that think it’s acceptable to perpetrate voter fraud and deception because it will only fool the ‘low-information voter.’

Fraud is fraud…

Deception is deception…

And calling people that are the target of the deception stupid or ‘low-information’ is merely a pathetic attempt at rationalization and justification for an illegal cul ture of gop corruption!

And it’s this kind of ridiculous crap that supports the idea that we mustn’t get complacent…we MUST get out and knock on doors… we MUST talk to our neighbors… we MUST NOT REST…

Don't let this kind of dirty trick go unchallenged and allow them to win…
