This is probably a repost but just got in an email. Although it was reported on 9/11/08 it's constantly being updated as to which states and Obama supporters are receiving these absentee ballets. Ewill need you since you're the BGOL CSI Obama reporter to stay on top of this and Clevand you hold his back.
-------
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.
