Republicans In Virginia Think You're Stupid

It is undeniable that Senator Barack Obama holds a large lead over Senator John McCain, but that isn't stopping the Grand Old Party and their compatriots from trying to take the election by nefarious means. Voter suppression efforts are going on across the nation in order to stop the massive influx of new voters from casting their ballots. The problem though is that in many instances, the courts are throwing out many Republican challenges, such as those in Montana, Ohio and Georgia. With their legal maneuvers failing nearly everywhere their lawyers go, anti-Democratic voting efforts are using the most basic and simplistic attacks to trick voters.

From Raising Kaine:

Unfortunately, we are going to have to be constantly vigilent about crap like this.
A phony State Board of Elections flier advising Republicans to vote on Nov. 4 and Democrats on Nov. 5 is being circulated in several Hampton Roads localities, according to state election officials.

In fact, Election Day for voters of all political stripes remains Nov. 4.

It's disgusting, obviously, and possibly illegal (the state police are looking into the matter). Anyway, the bottom line is this: stay diligent, and...

GET TO THE POLLS ON NOVEMBER 4!!!
Yes, November 4th, it is a Tuesday and like every other year, we are voting on the first Tuesday of November. If you are lucky enough to live in a state that allows early voting then do it, especially in swing states expecting unprecedented turnout numbers. Seriously though, are there people out there that would still believe this crap? Particularly this year, we are expecting as many hurdles thrown our way as possible. Everyone voting for Obama and aware of the implications for our racially-tainted nation should know his opponents will be doing whatever they can to keep people from voting. Something like this is should be considered child's play.
