(CNN) – The Virginia State Board of Elections is putting the word out: November 4 is Election Day for everyone in the state, regardless of political party.
The state agency issued a “Rumor Buster” press release this week with the correct date for voting in next week’s election because a fake flyer has been circulating with false information.
Click here to see the fake flyer
The flyer said incorrectly that Republicans and Republican-leaning independent voters should vote November 4 and that Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents should vote November 5. The flyer claims that the separate dates for voting by party were enacted by the Virginia legislature to ease the strain on the polls during high turnout that is expected.
But, the flyer’s information is false. “The State Board of Elections did not issue this flyer,” the agency said in a statement. “Election Day is Tuesday November 4 and all registered voters will be able to cast their vote on that day. The polls are open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Anyone in line at 7:00 p.m. will be able to vote.”
The fake flyer has been circulating in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, according to the State Board of Elections. The Virginia State Police refused to comment on the flyer because it is part of an “ongoing criminal investigation.”

The desperate tactics of the GOP.
Sounds like more Rove/Limbaugh/RNC crap to me.
Nice way to treat Americans – NOT
I've already voted early for Obama/Biden. Please do the same wherever you can.
This has the RNC and Karl Rove written all over it.
And that is what it is CRIMINAL!
This is makes it that more important for as many of us as possible to VOTE EARLY!!!
Cast your vote NOW if you can in your state.... Don't let the long lines deter you...
Smells the porcine machinations of Herr Rove and His Dirty Tricks Squad...
That is sad. You Republicans still want to attack Obama for the ACORN voter REGISTRATION crap? ACORN registers voters, if it is not a real person, etc...they obviously can't vote. You need to show ID. But apparently Republicans are getting so nervous they are actually deliberately misleading American voters. Wow...
Now THAT is anti-America.
Another ploy by Republicans to suppress voter turn out in a battleground state. The only way they can win is by not talking about the issues, lying about the candidate and keeping legitimate voters from the polls.
Let the side shows begin!
Please everyone, VOTE EARLY.
Its very important. There will be more side shows, garanteed.
So PLS VOTE EARLY FOR THE CHANGE WE NEED!!!!!!
Wow. That's all. Just Wow.
Sad.
Just shows what lengths the Republicans would go just to win this election. That is so wicked.
Let me guess – the Hampton Roads area of Virginia must be one of those "non-pro America" areas of the state – according to Ms. Palin. Thank you Virginal State Policeand State Board of Elections for being on top of this. The republicans will try ANYTHING to remain if office.
More attmepted dirty tricks by a filthy party that is intellectually bankrupt. Today's GOP is the very definition of 'loser'.
Go figure the repugnats would pull something like voter registration errors are one thing. Out an out lieing to suppress votes is another. McCains people need to issue a staement in Va that this is not acceptable behavoir. So sad that people out thier would do this.
We all know American people are on God's side, in the tradition of our founding-fathers, no matter whatever schemes advocated by the Devil. Simply vote for the Bible, disregarding parties, on November 4.
Here we go again. The msm trying to make a republican ACORN type situation.
Funny how republicans are the supposed "real" americans and yet they are the ones usually trying circumvent democracy and our constitution.
The police should look for persons with a backwards "B" etched on their faces!
The Obama ground game should quickly hand out flyers in Hampton Roads that provide the proper information for all voters to vote on Nov 4th.
The Right Wing will resort to out and out thievery with regard to this election, make no mistake. It will take overwhelming numbers of Democratic voters to hold off their fraud.
Well, it is quite obvious which party this misinformation
came from.
They must find, charge and arrest these criminals.
Those Republicans will stoop to anything! I guess there is NO limit on their disgusting tactics. No lie is unthinkable and no anti-American voter fraud is beneath them. That just goes to show how important it is to vote for Democratic candidates in order to stamp out the remaining cinders of the Karl Rove/ Republican hold on government.
Hopefully we will see change...and not just more of the same from the Democrats.
HA, Scary thing some people are dumb enough to believe.
More Republican dirty tricks.
The rumor bust is a big misunderstand. Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents are supposed to vote on November 6th, not November 5th. Because of the record turnouts they'll need another extra day to process the votes.
McCain will stop at nothing to win, even cheating.. Obama get the lawyers in Virginia.. McCain and the Republican party are slick as ice.
We now found out they cheated GORE in 2000...
Voters beware and get to vote.
Obama/Biden '08
Those crazy Republicans are at it again. A guy that went to jail over doing this stuff working for the RNC was on HBO's show Bill Mayher last week. He told of these exact types of accounts of what would happen. So sad to see that the people on the Republican side will go over the top to cry about ACORN, but the practices that they do, they think that is ok.
See Republicans... You have tried to steal elections for years now.
It just shows how much people are concerned about the outcome of this race... despicable.
More Republican Dirty Tricks.
DON'T WAIT TILL THE LAST MINUTE! VOTE EARLY!!!
If that was not so pathetic it would be funny. The Republicans really will do all they can to steal this election.
It is sick they have to cheat to even have a chance of winning.
I hope the people behind this are arrested and jailed.
Whoever sent out the fake flyer should be put on trial for treason!
Barack Obama is William Ayers without the bombs.
But just as dangerous.
really not surprising, we saw it in 2004 now we see it again in 08
I'm so surprised! Republicans trying to suppress democratic voters?
I am so relieved this is not voter fraud. Integrity stands!
Oh my G*d those evil republicans are going to try to steel this one too. Bush and Rove must be behind this and Palin and McCain were probably the ones who made the flyers.
The kooks will eat this right up.
Are they serious? They would go that far to win?
Shows they're nervous...
OBAMA '08
It's sad that elections have come to this, with independent groups attempting to change the outcome of an election by attempting to suppress voters and their rights. This goes for members of both parties, and I don't think anything will be done about it until the national parties are held accountable. It has become apparent that both parties use these organizations, and use them to skirt current regulations and laws. The national parties should be held accountable for these actions and face sanctions of some sort. It's not just the Republicans, it's not just the Democrats, it's both, and it may be time to hold the national parties accountable for such actions, done on their behalf.
I cannot tell you how badly I hope that they find and nail the SOBs who are responsible for this flyer. They are probably some of the same people who are complaining about "voter fraud", even when all the data says that the problem of voter fraud is virtually non-existent. What hypocrites. THIS FLYER is what is fraudulent, unethical, and immoral.
Really isn't that shocking.
How about Republicants voting November 5 for a change?
Can the Republicans go any lower then what they have? I would be ashamed right now to belong to that party and call myself a Republican sad people they are!
Why am I not surprised?
The Republican party under McCain and Bush has become a safe-haven for the worst that American politics has to offer. This is just the latest of their increasingly transparent efforts to disenfranchise those whom they cannot convince, frighten, or intimidate.
I hope that President Obama's first appointment is an Attorney General who will aggressively pursue the crimes of the last eight years, including the war crimes.
See what I mean. Ha ha ha ha.
Nice one, Repubs. Shameful.
THIS needs to be talked about every time someone mentions ACORN.
Do you see what I mean? The great United States of what? Is it the USR( United states of Republicans? Do you mean the Republicans don't want people to vote? This is so sad. I think each state should tell people the rules and informed them of there rights and how to cast their ballots.
The fact that they went so far to include language and information like it was coming from the Election Board...... Republicans at work again for you!
I'll NEVER vote for any Republican again. Not even for my local dog-catcher. This election has proven how criminal, misleading and hateful they are. They are all stirred in the same pot. I voted early yesterday and I voted STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC.
More sleaze from the Repubs. How could anybody place their confidence in them, especially right now?
This old white ex-republican voted for Obama yesterday. In fact, straight Democratic down the line.
Everybody please vote!
Can someone pls investigate the fatal car accident in 1964 in which Jon McCain was involved in??? This is real news not Palin's wardrobe. It looks like Mccain is hiding something really big.
THE CORRUPT GOP WILL TRY ANYTHING AND EVERTHING TO STOP 'HOPE' IN ITS TRACKS! LYING, CHEATING LOSERS. GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!
What is the greater threat?
ACORN: registering Mickey Mouse and actually having him show up to vote.
-or-
GOP: Lying and telling democrats to vote the day after the election.
Republicans just suck, they don't value freedom or our right to vote.
Can't win honestly, so lets lie, cheat, and steal our way to the finish line! Give me a break!
It just figures!
The Republicans tried this same dirty trick tactic four years ago.
Were they successful? You tell me!
Now we know who was behind the ACCORN fraud. Yes McCain campaign just like the fake flyers. If the Republicans really want to win tell the people what you will do for them beside steal the election and make people think you really care about them.
This is why you should vote Democratic.
Obama/Biden
Gee, I wonder why it didn't Democratic voters and Democratic Leaning voters should vote on November 4th and Republican and leaning on the 5th? Considering the source-Desperate times call for despirate measures? So highly ethical of them.
FILTHY GOP LIARS! AT IT AGAIN! NOT THIS TIME!
Why are these things always republican-based? Guess that speaks volumes, eh? Why would anyone want to vote for a candidate and party that has to so blatantly cheat to win? John McCain and the republican party should be ashamed of themselves.
This Type Of Tactic Has To Be Coming From The Republicans! Why Else Would It Say For Those Leaning Democrat To Vote A Day Late! I Will Be Voting Straight Democrat This Year All The Way Down The Ticket! And I Know What Day To Vote On!
Sounds like the government should allow people to vote on Nov 5 to correct the fraudulent flyer and make sure that everyone gets the chance to vote. It's dirty tactics like this that need to be curtailed and the party involved fined and put in prison. The Republicans can't win honestly so they resort to this type of thing to undermine the electoral system.
Those silly Republicans. Is there no depth to which they won't sink.
A lesson here, educate the people. The Republican party has attacked education for many years. An ignorant population is more easily misled. Thomas Jefferson recognized this which is why we have public education. and are supposed to have "Government by the People".
If anyone would fall for that trick, it would make me wonder if they actually had the aptitude to know which of the two candidates was the Democrat, anyway.
Another shining hour for the petty republicans.
NOV 4TH NOV 4TH NOV 4TH NOV 4TH
YOU VOTE NOV 4TH 2008 YOU VOTE NOV 4TH 2008
CNN WHY DON'T YOU GUYS EDUCATED VOTERS USING THE MAP OF ALL THE STATES AND TELL PEOPLE THE RULES AND WHEN TO VOTE IT WOULD BE HELPFUL.
Does this surprise anyone? Republicans have now resorted themselves to the lowest point. Unforgiveable. I hope Democarats sweep out the trash!!!
OBAMA/BIDEN
Well now we know what Todd and the kids have been doing during Sarah's rallies...Ha Ha Ha! This nonsense occurs every election cycle.
The only democrats who would fall for something like this are the ones who want to vote for McCain.
You know, if a political party must resort to these sorts of tricks to fool voters, I don't know how they can be too proud of their affiliation. If you can win on the merits of your leadership, perhaps you should reconsider your positions and policies.
I just read the facts about the entire Joe the Plumber nonsense and the truth is "...on Thursday, October 16, Wurzelbacher said he had misunderstood Obama's plan and that the company he wants to buy makes well less than $250,000 a year — which Obama says means his taxes would not be increased."
Now, there's a vicious video making the email rounds that claim Obama is a dangerous socialist and attempting to blame the entire financial crisis on the Party that hasn't been in control for 12 years. Democrats still don't have a large enough majority to override a Bush veto! Get a grip on reality!
sounds like high desperation to me !!
No way No How No 150K wardrobe!
FIX IT, JUST FIX-IT!!!
to the guy who calls himself Barack the deciever" : you are scarier than William Ayers. By the way if Ayers is so bad then why is he walking around the streets of Illinois??
Of course the GOP did that. They are shameful. How can ANYONE condone there acts!
Hanlon's razor states:
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
In these days of partisan mistrust and evermore complex voting products and processes, it would be good if we could all ask first whether something was done in error before we decide it was done in evil.
This is the reason I have voted straight Democratic.
The demorcats are stealing the election! The media is rigging the election! Blah blah blah, whine whine whine. THIS election won't be decided by a handful of right leaning judges. The media just puts up what sells. Suck it up, my views have been marginalized in the media for a long time while yours was touted endlessly into two wars and economic chaos. No ones screwing you over on the left. Its your team SUPPRESSING VOTES! Talking about destroying the fabric of democracy. Republicans in Virginia seem to think the end justifies the means. Just suceed with Palin and Alaska and get it over with or REALIZE its democracy. You lost. It happens. Try again later.
Is this one of their October surprise?
Well, it won't work.
Period!
if peole could read betwen the lines it tell you that they don't like the Democratic or Indepents. Now people this is sad when you have people going to this stance to steal the election. Be like Please somebody tell the folks in Virigina when they should vote.
If I was a Democratic or Indienpent McCain wouldn't get my vote.
This from "the greatest country on earth"?
And the Republicans have the gall to mention Acorn. These people are slime balls
Dirty tricks from a rogue Republican? Why am I not surprised?
The Republican Party at its best......but they are the ones who love America, right? The ones who are honest and moral?
Just look at these blogs and see the ridiculous stuff spewed by the right wingers foaming at the mouth.
WOW- what won't they do to win. At this point I think anything is possible. We have witnessed one of the most negative campaigns in history. McCain/Palin rallies have resemble more of a mob mentality than a political round up. I keep waiting for Palin to throw her arm straight up and yell "SIEG HILE" and have all her followers yell it right back to her in agreement. My friends- That's one big group of fascists all right.
JD in Moraga, CA October 28th, 2008 2:58 pm ET
Well now we know what Todd and the kids have been doing during Sarah's rallies…Ha Ha Ha! This nonsense occurs every election cycle.
Yeah but when no one likes your candidates, you have to resort to other methods of stealing the election.
This should lead the evening news on all networks! Slimy politics are the Repubs trademark. Nothing surprises me regarding Repubs and the crap they pull to win.
This does not suprise me at all. Gore and Kerry with an even playing field would have won the last two elecitons. I can't understand why this does not get more coverage!
Shouldnt McCain come out and denounce this?
I hope someone goes to jail over this one. Tampering with elections is serious business.
The Republicans will stop at nothing. They have officially become dangerous.
The redistribution of wealth is a strong message for McCain. Obama should give more than his 1% or less to charity if he going to tell people in their drive ways that he favors to spread the wealth around. Why is he so cheap with his own money?
Nice try but we won't be fooled.
I guess Virginia really is leaning Obama... Good job!
Republican Tactics manual
#1 Lie
# 2 Smear
# 3 Lie more
If 1-3 fails -
# 4 Cheat
Keep repeating until victorious.
If people are that stupid to believe Repubs vote one day and Dems another, then they don't deserve to vote.
Good grief!
It is for this reason that should Obama not win, he should not concede, and fight this to the bitter end, unlike Gore...leaving no stone unturned...we will riot in the streets this time! No Justice No Peace!!!
This is what republicans are all about: lies!
LOL – I guess Republicans in VA are being IQ-ist!
That is desperate. Virginians please get out and vote on Nov 4th. Let "That Honest One" win this election
Karl Rove is alive and well.....darn it.
How pathetic! Sorry Repugs you won't be stealing this election!
Barack me Baby!!
unbelievable – John McCain should appologize for the despicable tactics of his party and go home to Arizona.
Someone should go to jail ...... I`m sure if the authorities wanted to find the culprit they could .
PLEASE DON'T BLAME THIS ON A REPUBLICAN, DEMOCRAT OR A REAL AMERICAN. THIS IS THE WORK OF SOME EVIL, SICK NUT AND IF FOUND SHOULD BE SHIPPED OUT OF THIS COUNTRY FOR TREASON.
Amazing. Love the comment that this is what the First Dude has been up to – you betcha.
VOTE NOV. 4! (or earlier if you can)
After Nov. 4 – it is OVER... and hopefully so is McShame.
THIS IS APPALLING. THE SELF PROCLAIMED, GREATEST DEMOCRACY ON THE PLANET, ACTING LIKE A BANANA REPUBLIC. THIS SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY INVESTIGATED, AND THE PERPETRATORS JAILED. DISGUSTING, SHAMEFUL, CORRUPT. REPUBLICANS
I wonder if fat pig Lou Dobbs will report about that. That fatty fascist ran our ears deaf with his pseudo scandal about Acorn but I can bet he won't say a word about this. CNN, why do you keep the weirdo on air every single day of the week?
People Please.... According to John McCain, nothing will ever be more fraudulent than the ACORN Voter Fraud, even though technically it was only registration fraud.
I'd love to hear how he will try to justify this one!!!
hahaha...only a dumb democrat would fall for that
I VOTED!!!!! OBAMA/BIDEN
Well we know McCain didn't write it. He doesn't know how to use a computer...
Why are they trying to disenfranchise the voters of Real Virginia? It's seems outlandish, but some elderly voters would fall for this. We need to protect all voters, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents.
This is laughable. Todd Palin or "First Dude" as Sarah so lovingly refers, probably designed the flyer. The ROC probably paid him thousands too! lol lol lol
They're actually doing people a favor by doing this. Since there's proven widespread voter fraud, you can sleep well knowing they didn't steal your vote.
And in Florida we have fake campaign workers taking folks ballots and agreeing to 'drop them off so they don't get lost in the mail', all the while never intending to follow through.
And in Colorado we have 10,000 registrations or registered voters being thrown out 'just because'.
In other states we have fencing. In yet others we have clear intimidation and suppression tactics daily.
All for the cause of electing Republicans. Seems to me the 'pro-America' party is not about America at all.
This is becoming more and more a circus event rather than a true democracy. How is this country going to survive this election with all of the hate, empty rhetoric, name calling and divisive tactics? I just hope that this country can survive this election. It seems we are becoming more and more divided with one party believing they are better than the other party. One thing we have learned throughout this election process is that ageism,sexism and racism is still very much alive. This is disheartening and I pray that we get it together for the sake of the future of our country's survival. On a lighter note...don't forget to BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!
a democrat ploy to take pressure off the L.A.Times not releasing the anti-Israel forum with Barack and Ayers from 2002.
someone needs to investigate GOP for voter fraud.
Anyone who does not like the flier should just vote early and be done with it.
People who are not pleased with the outcome can take it up with President McCain!
Republicans will lie, cheat and steal to win any election. They have the moral and ethical values of an alley cat. Worse than an alley cat. I love how they consider themselves "God Fearing" yeah right!
Wow, I wonder who put out that flyer? Attempts to prevent people from voting are disgusting.
Us Virginians are too smart to fall for these GOP gimmicks. Give it up already.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08
that's why they are now called the "re-thug-licans". Anyone still voting for McPalin are just plain racists! This is a direct example of how low the GOPS are, and how desperate they are. We once again look like a nation of idiots to rest of the world. how are we any different than the extremists that we are fighting against if we do the same things as them. we need to be a decent nation again by not voting for the GOPS this year!
Do these people really think that the american people are stupid or what. The people of Virginia should send these idiots a clear messege, that no matter what they try, it's not going to work this time. Don't let them insult your intelligence. VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN
smart move but i dont think people are that stupid.
The wingnuts strike again, I smell desperation.
"it's like they take pride in being ignorant".
Obama/Biden 08
and this is american style democracy that bush wants to spread around the world, america cannot even run an honest election in their own country.
I VOTED
From another story about Virginia and overseas absentee ballots being counted or not-
"But here’s the issue: neither the federal absentee write-in ballot itself nor its instructions mentions Virginia’s requirement that the witness’s address be included. In fact, the ballot form doesn’t even have a space to write down the witness address which Virginia requires."
--–
What is is about Virginia? Do they have something against fair voting?
shameful and pathetic.
There will be a lot of misinformation before all is said and done – hopefully the "cream will rise to the top" despite all the mud-slinging, etc.
HOPE AND CHANGE WE NEED IS THE WAY TO GO.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008
Surprise! Surprise! Sur–prise!
GOP officials in several states are doing everything they can to purge tens of thousands of voters in each state, many legitimate registrations from voter lists. Add to that, sending too few or old machines to polling places in poor and urban neighborhoods and you have a recipe for disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of voters.
Then, the GOP makes a big splash about ACORN, where very poor workers made up people to register, that probably will result in next to zero improper votes.... and ignores that the vast majority of the suspect registrations were identified by ACORN and bundled together for identification.
Also, don't forget all the smear campaigns spreading all sort of lie and innuendo about Senator Obama.
CNN – why did you censor my comment about the false quotes from Obama's books that keep circulating over and over again. You allow the lies to be posted but not the identification of the lies as such?
To all of you, any quotes from Obama's books that say he will support the Muslim extremists over America are completely false, as are the other blatantly unpatriotic quotes being circulated. These are smears designed to trick you into voting for McCain. Please don't fall for these and all the other lies about flags, the Pledge of Allegiance, ect.
CNN, please post this. Thank you.
can republicans be even more disgusting than this? by hook or crook they want to be in white house to control govenment and they talk about democracy? How DISGUSTING. SHAME on MCBUSH and barbie doll/.
I agree with steve that this election has gotten out of hand. I am really happy to listen to Barack's "Closing Argument" speech. He is already trying to put this country back together again. I really like that.
Obama '08
chili
Question: If Convicted Felons are NOT allowed to vote, WHY IS that
Convicted Felons are allowed sit on the US Senate? (Ted Stevens).
Another George W. Bush/John McCain buddy.
All I can say is "WOW"...the republicans are really seeing their end!
And I thought this only happens in third countries!
Word has it that TODD PALIN designed the flyer. lol
shame on the republicans, all the hate they have focused on just keeps growing. VOTE OBAMA-BIDEN BRING HONOR BACK TO ALL AMERICA
To : "Barrack the Deciever" I am praying for you! John McCain and Sarah Palin are lying to you, decieving you, playing on your fears and you are falling for every bit of it. If you voted for George Bush, you've been decieved for the past eight years. Don't you think its time you wake up?
I think you should resign Cafferty
Oh boy, this sounds like the work of ACORN, right GOP???
In other news from Pravda, the following is a direct quote from comrade Palin in an interview with the New Yorker magazine:
"we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s COLLECTIVELY Alaskans own the resources. So we SHARE IN THE WEALTH when the development of these resources occurs"
Da, comrade Palin. Marx would be so proud. That is all, "my friends".
What ever happened to McCain?
I can't bearly stand the guy who is behind all this s...t. I can believe the navy would let such a dishonorable man claim vet. It is an insult to the uniform I am still in.
Mc. don't come here telling me it is the campaign because it is your campaign, unless you are saying you are incapable of managing it.
What a shame.
Thats one of the reasons why I voted 2 weeks ago. People out there should vote early that way
If you do have a problem sometimes it can be fixed before the election
day but if you have a problem on election day you might not be able to vote.
I hope they find the people responsible for the misinformation.
Every election cycle we deal with Republican trying to suppress voters. When are these people going to be charged with a crime!
Well, that's okay. It was distributed in Northern Virginia, and they're not real Americans or real Virginians anyway.
The RNC will do anything to win.
Why is it that Republicans can only win by cheating?
It just goes to show you what slime they are... I can't believe people still support the GOP when they see crap like this. This is the reason why Republicans are finally going to lose the House, the Senate, and the POTUS all at the same time... because the moral majority of this nation has had enough of their Culture of Corruption.
WAKE UP, AMERICA!!!! VOTE SMART.... NOT SENILE!!!
Now regardless of party. That is unamerican to mislead poeple. Hope they pay the price for what they have done. A Country of Laws. I think they had forgot that.
nothing suprises me anymore
Not surprised.
o-oops Repubs did it again, check mate
The GOP does this kind of stuff all the time...... and they wonder why they have the reputation they have.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gee, I wonder who did that....hmmmmm, I wonder....could it be the aptly named rethuglican party? Maybe
Those pesty Republicans will get elected one way or the other . You betcha!
Nice TRy Pubs, I Voted Obama/Biden Today!!!!!
I've really been struggling with this election. I have great affection for John McCain, and I strongly believe that he is the candidate who most keenly understands the next steps we need to take in Iraq and Afghanistan. At the same time, I don't have a lot of confidence in his understanding of the domestic challenges we're going to face over the next four years, and his campaign has been painful to watch. Extremely, extremely painful.
My sense is that McCain believes that a Barack Obama presidency would represent a very dangerous moment for America in the world, and that he sees it as his patriotic duty to do whatever it takes to defeat Obama. This attitude has led McCain to run a campaign that has been ham-fistedly overaggressive and out of touch with the mood of the country.
As for Obama, well, he's certainly run a brilliant campaign. I won't vote for him, and I've never been seriously tempted to become a so-called "Obamacon." I worry that the policy proposals nearest and dearest to Obama will make our economy less resilient and less productive over the long haul.
The Republicans Need To Go! They Need Some Morals!
I can't believe how stupid people are to actually think that someone in the Republican party, i.e. someone in an official capacity, is responsible for these fliers. Do you think they would risk getting caught? Do you know what the ramifications would be?
While the fliers are wrong, I'm sure it's an individual who is responsible for this and it wasn't sanctioned by the Republican party, just as I'm sure no one from the Democratic party told those guys to block Palin's car the other day.
Seriously?? Do republicans really think we are that stupid? First clue – separate voting dates for the two parties. Second clue – putting the "Democratic leaning" voting date on the Fifth.
Insane. It is time we stuck together, took the high road and just voted. All of us...early, absentee, or in person. The only way to show these crazies that we won't stand for this kind of politics is to get out there in full force and vote for change. Go Obama.
Can this be anymore pathethic? Yet the republicans (with the aid of the GOP sympathizer, Drew Griffin – CNN Post this!) keep trying to find different creative ways to use the words Barack Obama and Voter Fraud in the same sentence. Absolutely ludicrous!
If I hear John McCain refer to me as "my friend" and Sarah Palin say "you betcha" one more time I'll scream. Enough already!
Republicans really will do anything to win, huh? Wow...
and they say Obama will cheat to get into office, the republicans are determined to keep life the way it is.
John if you can't play fair, don't play at all!!!
MORE BUSH & MCBUSH POLITICS !!!!!
And how is this different than Obama supporters voting mulitple times in multiple states?
This is just sick and wrong. It's not surprising though.
Every one get out and VOTE on the 4th and get rid of the repugs!
The RNC, McCain and Palin should take out both radio and network TV ads to correct this fraudulent communication in Virginia. It looks very official, and there are people who would believe it.
They must take action immediately and thoroughly or they will be equally responsible for the fraud. If people show up to vote on November 5th, it is now THEIR responsibility, and any Republican win would be in question.
If they don't take this action, they were behind it or are smugly enjoying the confusion this has caused.
Vote now before they try to hoodwink you too.
That's a horrible attempt to let only Republicans vote and Democrats miss the deadline so the Republicans win... The sad part is that some people believed this too I bet, so that's some democrats that will miss their deadline.
WHOEVER IS RESPONCIBLE SHOULD PAS GO,
NOT COLLECT $200,000,000 & GO STRAIGHT TO JAIL !
WE HAVE TO BEGIN SENDING THESE SCUM BAGS TO PRISON !!!!
Wonder how much McCain paid for this?
The GOP is the biggest perpetrator of voter suppression and fraud in this country by a wide margin. The worst of ACORN is a blip on the radar compared to the crap the Republicans pull.
When the USSR collapsed, the leadership under Yeltsin banned the Communist Party for a voting cycle or 2, and the leaders of the botched coup were tried for crimes against the state. Why cant we do that here?
HEY TO ALL REPUBLICANS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO THE RNC THIS YEAR.
Watch the next republican Rally to see what outfit you bought Sarah Palin next!! Ha!!!! McSame and the Diva owned!!
Wow, why can't the Republicans lose with dignity? Why do they have to create all these dishonest schemes? Must be just the way they are. How sad. If they would bow out gracefully, and try to re-build their name, maybe someday it would be an honor to be called a Republican instead of being a disgrace. Get over it!
CAMPAIGN MANAGERS OF MCCain and Palin are all NUTJOBS.
Latest case in point: They allow that Elizabeth of THE VIEW to share the stage with Palin.
LOL Elizabeth, your career may just be over over this stunt.
As a life long Republican I'm discussed. It's time for change and end the Bush lies and corruption. McCain is no answer.
nobama democrats = kinda like lemmings of a pack following the false prophet messiah saviour right over a cliff because their brainwashed. "barack the vote", "vote early","vote straight dem". maybe that one guy was right, america becoming a nation of whiners wanting to depend on the goverment to pamper 'em. democrats dont want the overseas ballots to count because they know the ballots will help take down the false messiah
Wow. Are people so freaked out about the possibility of a Democrat in the White House that they will go to these lengths to deny other Americans their chance to vote? This is sickening. Maybe they are that freaked out that this particular Democrat is bi-racial? I just don't understand what is wrong with people. Again, I'm sickened by this. Whoever perpetrated this fraud should be ashamed of themselves, but of course they won't be because they probably feel vindicated somehow. So, they should be prosecuted and serve jail time.
Another fraudulent act by the Republicans can you believe it. But let's blame it on I don't know Joe the plumber maybe.
Vote early and if you're in Chicago, vote often!!! LOL. Voted for BO 2 1/2 weeks ago here in Phoenix. Gave me the greatest pleasure to vote against my very own Senator. If you can, DO IT TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!
So-o-o unfair and disrespectful to the Virginia voters. The Republicans have waged such a negative campaign. Who can trust them? Hopefully they will find the culprits and charge them.
Let's see if McCain and Palin speak out against this. Doubt it of course. They are probably doing high fives.
Vote Obama on November 4th Virginia!
Someone wrote earlier:
"As an Alaskan, who was born and raised in Alaska, I was appalled to wake up to the national news saying that the Anchorage Daily News is endorsing Barack Obama.
We finally have an Alaska governor as a VP running mate, so where is the loyalty toward Alaska? Did anyone ever consider that having Sarah Palin as VP, she would propose plans and ideas that would benefit Alaska? All those people that are out there complaining and talking down Sarah Palin should just send her back that nice check that she made sure you got for heating your homes. "
___________________________
Excuse me, those checks? Imagine, Palin was "spreading the wealth around."
Sounds like a Socialist program to me.
I'm tellin' you, it's time to call in the U.N. observers.
This is VERY disturbing. Each and every time, it's a new scandal... more than likely supervised by the GOP.
Desperados!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All else has failed the McCain camp.
This is lower than low. Is this Virginia in Zimbabwe or America?
I live in the Hampton Roads area and have already had one elderly person say they were voting on Nov. 5th.
Now THAT is voter fraud.
ACORN delimna was registration fraud – individuals making up fake names to try and make more money for turning in more registrations. Voter fraud would be if Mickey Mouse tries to actually vote in Alabama along with Goofy and all his other friends.
The GOP will do anything and I mean anything to try and derail the American people and more important Viriginians voice from being heard. Every time they come up with a plot to be devisive it backfires on them. Look out GOP, Judgement Day is Tues. Nov. 4th!
Obama/Biden '08
Now THAT is voter fraud.
ACORN delimna was registration fraud – individuals making up fake names to try and make more money for turning in more registrations. Voter fraud would be if Mickey Mouse tries to actually vote in Alabama along with Goofy and all his other friends..
well I'm guessing this is the work of a so called republican operative... In this case I hope that not only the operative but the party as a whole suffer for this crime to disinfranchise voters.
Find the Republicans responsible and throw their butts in jail.
We need stiffer penelties for those that want to mess with our election process. Even the ACORN cons that filled out and turned in fake registration forms should be jailed.
The RNC in Michigan that was trying to take a list of foreclosures into the polling place to deny those hurt worst by this disasterous economy the right to vote should be thrown in jail.
Voting is a right that can not be allowed to be messed with. Start throwing people in jail.
Everyone have their cell phones ready to document voter suppression on election day then send it to CNN!!!
Anyone who believes there are separate polling days for the two parties is too dumb to vote in the first place! No wonder we have so many idiots in office - they get elected by idiots.
The polls say Obama is up 10% in Pens. and CNN
tels us McCain is gaining? Well, just a tiny, tiny bit.
What is this for news?
I JUST READ SOME DISTURBING NEWS ABOUT JOHN MCCAIN'S CO-FOUNDING OF AN EXTREMIST, RADICAL, TERRORIST ORGINIZATION KNOWN AS "THE PROJECT FOR A NEW AMERICAN CENTURY"!!! I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR JOHN MCCAN EVER, HE WANTS TO START WORLD WAR III BY STAGING A SYNTHETIC WAR WORLD WIDE AGAINST MUSLIMS!!! JOHN MCCAIN IS A CRUSADER!!!
Repubs are doing everything to get elected, such a shame. people who still support repubs after all this are completely out of mind. GOD BLESS AMERICA
These tactics reek of Karl Rove and his henchmen/women.
For all the idiots who are falling for this "socialism" crap..
Obama's plan is to redistribute the DEBT burden, not wealth. Money is not going to anyone, it goes to paying off the national debt created by Bush!
McCain's plan gives a REWARD to those who created this economic disaster!
WAKE UP!
This is too sad. People in Va. you must help you citizens so they will not be left out of this elections.
Whoever did this should go to jail for a long long time.
People of this great country November 4th Tuesday is the last day to vote. If you can vote early do so to help those who can not avoid long lines .
If you are dumb enough not to know when Election Day is, Where the hell have you been living all of your live, Under a Rock. Or did you just not care about the USA or voting before, until there a Socialist Black Candidate.
My God we are dealing with IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!
"VOTE MCCAIN THE EXPERIENCED ONE"
GOP tactics are way worst than the ones used in third world Africa. VERY DIGUSTING. How far would they go with their lies. How many lies would the so called FOX News tell to impose John McCain as president like they did with Bush back in 2000. Those hypocrits Repus who label themselves christians. Real Christians don't slander, real christians don't tell lies. Meditate on that, Conservative Hypocrit Republicans.
WE HAVE TO PUT POLITICIANS & THE ORGANIZATIONS
THAT BRAKE THE LAW ON THEIR BEHALF IN PRISON !!
MCSAME'S KEATING FIVE CLUB ESCAPADE SHOULD HAVE
LANDED HIM & HIS COHORTS IN PRISON.
THE BUSH ESCAPADES IN FLORIDA SHOULD HAVE
LANDED HIM, HIS BROTHER & ANYONE INVOLVED IN PRISON.
INSTEAD WE GOT A PRESIDENT, WE DID NOT ELECT,
AND DEBT THAT WILL TAKE 30 YEARS TO PAY.
Could it be that the Dem did this...it is just a small area and not many would believe it and if they did only in small numbers... but look how CNN got this and you all are running with it as if McCain himself did this....pretty good idea Dems.
If Mccain president then
count = 0
Loop
Lie
Cheat
Lie some more
Divided the nation
Distract
If count > 20 then
Print "We can not decive the American People no more"
Print "Our 44th President is Barack Obama"
End if
until Mccain = president or count > 20
End If
As long as they did not play race card and age card, everything will be ok for this state.
It certaninly figures that the Republicans will try anything to win. "Country First" my tush, more like Presidency First. And as for McCain coming out and saying something about this misinformation you can forget it. Of course, one good thing though...maybe the Republicans will vote on the 5th since a lot of them take anything the McCain campaign says for the truth!
It is nice to know that ALL REPUBLICANS are horrible people by the way everyone talks on here. For as liberal as DEMOCRATS are supposed to be you seem to be awfully judgemental. Just becase 1 republican does something it doesn't mean all republicans agree with it.
Whats the problem...Dems you can vote on Nov 5th. Just show up at the door, if its locked and it appears no one is there, just wait a while, I'm sure they'll show up.
Oh this happens every election year and first of all, its so stupid, since election day is not on a state by state basis. It's the same for all 50 states. And you know its always the Republicans who try to pull this. Please ... how pathetic can you get??
ACORN is smoke and mirrors so republicans can indiscretly suppress the votes. There are severa lawsuits with CO, NM and other states in which the GOP are intimidating minorties and purging their voter registration. Throw the GOP out.
If Mccain president then

who gives a crap both candidates suck and the press is bias'd and the bloggers are rude and in the tank for Barack the one Obama.
2012
Wasn't it Obama who just yesterday stated that Republicans should vote on Nov. 5th?
Somehow I see McPain turning this around on Obama.... Some how, some way, they will say "That One" did this to make us look bad!
Obama/Biden all the way to D.C.!!!!
What an incredible bunch of CRIMINALS and LOSERS the GOP has become. Limbaugh intentionally tried to sabatoge the Democratic primary with his "Operation Chaos"...now this?
I am from VA and I can't wait for Nov 4th. VA=Blue. Let's goooooo
I have been watching the news casts from CNN and have not seen this story covered at all! I would like to see one of the news journalists
cover this story so that NO voter is disenfranchised this election year.
I do think it is highly suspicious that a flyer is sent out in a state with a very tight race. Hopefully the facts will win out!
I am waiting for the messiah to get elected and then tell me what line I need to get in to get some of that redistributed wealth, perhaps one of his drones blogging here can help???
GOP is soooooooooooooooooo out of touch.
And the Republicans have the nerve to go after Obama and ACORN. What hypocrites.
Here's a thought – if you're stupid enough to think Democrats and Republicans vote on different days then you are probably too dumb to vote...
People are missing the point. It's not about being stupid. If you are elderly and get this flyer it might be believed. They are not stupid but prehaps naive and wouldn't believe that someone would go to such lengths to suppress the vote. Most of us know better!
WE SHOULD LET EVERY CONVICTED FELON,
EXCEPT THE CHILD MOLESTERS, OUT OF
PRISON & FILL IT WITH POLITICIANS THAT
BREAK THE LAW & THOSE THAT HELP THEM.
C Quillen:
There is a difference between Voter REGISTRATION fraud and Voter FRAUD. When voter registrations reach the Secretary of State, the duplicates are trashed, so in essence, there is only 1 registration for the 100 times someone has registered.
This flyer is voter FRAUD. The flyer, if people believe it, will suppress votes.
Get it now??!!!
Incredible. They'll stop at nothing.
Do you ever see liberal groups trying this kind of disgusting misinformation?
No.
McCain has the audacity to claim that ACORN is tring to pull off the biggest electoral fraud in history (which is utter garbage), but he is totally silent about this kind of crap as well as GOP led voter purges targeted specifically at Democratic areas.
The sooner we get Obama into office to get a proper HAVA in place the better.
Republicans can't do this the right way by debating policies they apparently have to lie to people and attempt to get them to not vote. How sleazy, the McCain supporters act like we're in elementary school and instead of discussing policies they turn to name calling, lies (paling around with terrorists, raising taxes, which isn't true for 95% of america), and putting out horrible rumors. This makes me wonder if America will ever grow up or if it will always be trapped in the same divisive ways it always has been.
You Can Bet That Dough Boy Lou Dobbs Wont Even Mention This, But His Lips Will Flap All Week About Acorn!
Vote Early!!!
Republican dirty tricks! That's low!
Ian-proven widespread voter fraud?
Voter fraud, probably.....widespread, that is the Republican fantasy.
That is the distortion they use to purge voter rolls.
Fraud is YPM and the Lincoln Strategy–two groups funded by the Republicans. YPM gets paid $5 for every voter it registers but ONLY if the voter registers Republican. The applicant says they are not Republican but the worker says it is merely a processing thing. Voters in 3 counties in California have filed complaints. YPM's head was recently arrested for voter registration fraud. Oh, and the money YPM gets? $5 a head from Steve Poizner–California Insurance Commissioner and chair of-wait for it--McCain/California campaign.
McCain--more of the same.
I don't care if you are D or R .... but really who the hell won't know that Nov. 4th is THE DAY YOU ELECT !!!! .... come on!
My 5 yr old knows that Nov. 4th is election day ...... wow I am shock by this stupidity. I know it has been a while since many of you been in school but this really takes the cake.
I GUESS THEY THOUGHT IT WOULD WORK SINCE THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE SO GULLIBLE.
@Tony.. get in the work line dummy. The only people getting a tax cut are actual working people not those that are unemployed. If you would read you would have known that by now.
@NC Mom...Now you know they won't do that...they didn't even "condemn" that chick in PA
@Bart...Hampton Roads is a mostly Democratic area (Newport News, Norfolk, Hampton)..Whoever did it knew EXACTLY what they were doing.
Have no fear...I have family in that area and have send this to them to get the word OUT...
President Obama WILL have his LANDSLIDE !!!!!
The head of the GOP in Virgina should admit they did this and end his career now. we're going to get you sooner than later you schmuck
Sounds like a good reason to vote early to me!
To Allan G. :
Wow! I can't believe how stupid you are. Why are you people like that? Are you AMERICAN? That's not how you should act. You're AmeriCain, definition: People who are consumed by hate and supidity as an effect of being a follower of McCain.
Just like McCain's campaign, their supporters are getting angry and bitter too.
*Proud Liberal*
Republicans are disgusting.
At this point, Republican Party is synonymous with Lying Scumbag. Thank you for helping me decide: I'll now be voting for Obama.
I live in Virginia. I will vote on Nov 4 for Obama. If the state police find out who is behind this, I will recommend to my legislater a very public tar and feathering!!
The only way McCain can win is to have one close battle ground state. It's harder to fix the election is six or seven states as it is in one state. There was only one state the that had to be fixed in 2000 and 2004.
How dirtier it can get? They haven't learned that people still remember the dirty tricks of 2004.
You Liberals will try anything to make the other party look bad, anybody slow enough to believe this will bea big enough dummy to believe a conservative sent it.
More tricks from the Republicans to steal the election like they did in 2004. They are low and vulgar. They just won't stop. They have become an embarrasment to America. All of them need to be in jail.
HEY OBAMA SUPPORTERS,
HOW FOOLISH YOU WILL BE IF OBAMA WINS THIS ELECTION.
JUST WAIT!!!!!!
I'M STILL WONDERING IF OBAMA WINS WHO IS GOING TO RUN THIS COUNTRY. OBAMA ISN'T HE DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE.
SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO WRITE IT DOWN SO HE CAN JUMP ON A STAGE AND READ IT SO THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS CAN WORSHIP HIM.
I think the Attorney General of the State should investigate. This is serious. Charges should be brought.
This is the same mentality that strongarmed Bush into the White House in Florida 8yrs ago and kept him there to this day . I regret not being a US citizen to vote for Obama next week. I regret it.
Republican tricks like this make me sick to my stomach and fearful of another stolen election. I hope so badly that there isn't another vote scandal and that America gets to see a rightful election winner for the first time in eight years. Get out there, VOTE ! November 4th 2008 will become the day that the world sees America regain its dignity.
PELOSI + REED + OBAMA = DEPRESSION
WHICH MEANS NO FREE HANDOUTS FOR THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS.
It happens every Election. The REPUBLICANS try to prevent Democrats from voting. Better check your vote at the machine to ensure the machine did not change your vote to MCcain when you wanted Obama. This is a lot worse that registration frad. This can really effect the election. and prevent LEAGAL voters from casting their VOTE. Suggest the people and the party they represent be put in JAIL
