CNN

My thoughts are with Senator Obama and his entire family on the loss of his very beloved Grandmother. What a wonderful woman she was and what values she gave to him. Despite his personal grief, he is still continuing his quest for change. He, thankfully, was able to visit a long time with her for a day and a half and bring closure and come full circle with her.

I am so sorry she missed the chance to see him fulfull their dreams.

May her spirit linger and her love over a long lifetime bring them comfort and peace.

Evie

So weren't ACORN'S attempts to register names like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck a "joke" as well???

THE POLICE CHIEF MUST BE A REPUBLICAN! " "had determined the flyer had not been created in order to deceive voters" THEN WHAT THE HELL WAS IT MEANT TO DO!!!

This is a complete move of desperation by the GOP.

All that they have left to bank on are things like namecalling, and sorry attempts to disenfranchise voters.

Pathetic.

No charges? Another Republican crime and whitewash. After what the Reds did in the last 2 presidential elections and what they have done against this country for the last 8 years, I am not at all surprised. Something else for the rest of the world to laugh at us for.

this is F'ed up we need that guy to be charged with something

If this had been a Democrate ,there would be an investigation, an arrest and McCain/Palin would be making around the clock accusations.

What a shame!

There is obvious misconduct here. Maybe I can rob a store and say it was a joke.
Food for thought: Barack wants to create more jobs here in America thereby creating more revenue in the United States thereby allowing people to be able to afford their mortgages, gas and food. McCain wants to leave things the way they are and further let the American worker suffer saying the free market will take care of itself while Americans continue to lose more and more jobs. People, think about this, if you can remember, Bush already cut taxes for corporations then cut taxes again.... Were more jobs created b/c he did that or has American workers continued to lose their jobs? Please be intelligent, think for yourselves and make the correct decision. In this day and age, now is not the time to not vote for someone b/c their skin is a little darker then yours. That is the epitome of stupid.

This is par for the course of ignorance. "They" can say it was an office joke but based on McCain/Palin's lack of ideas that promote real change by taking the lowest road possible with their tactics they will see that road is a dead end much like the bridge to no where.

You have got to be kidding me. If this was an office prank, why were the fliers distributed in a neighborhood? When was the prank revealed as a prank (the most important part of a prank)?

Some in that neighborhood should file a civil suit.

Ignorance of the Law is not a defense. They should be tried, someone isn't doing their job in Virginia because of Political Motivations.

If the State Police won't look into it, perhaps the Virginia Governor or Attoney General should.

So when ACORN registers phony voters that would not even affect the outcome of the election, the Republicans call for a Federal investigation.

But when members of the Virginia statewide GOP purposely try to disenfranchise real voters , then it's just considered a "joke".

Give me a break.

'The Virginia State Police said in a statement that they had determined the flyer had not been created in order to deceive voters' Really? Are you serious? lol. This same stunt was attempted during the last major election and nothing was done. why would they do something now. i cannot wait til we turn this red state blue!

Nonsense. It was a deliberate attempt.

Another stunt.

Total bull! This is fraud noy a joke they used the state seal on it.

Get out and vote tomorrow! Send the repugs a clear message! Vote landslide for the dems!

Wow it figures, after all, what's a little voter suppression effort among dirtbags?

This is unaccpetable~ this is truly an attempt to interefere with a federal election.... "office joke" yeah right.

that's not fair,whoever did that was supposed to be purnished Obama/Biden 08

WOW, NO CHARGES WILL BE FILED....I "BETCHA" IF A DEMOCRAT HAD DONE THIS, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED AND PROBABLY JAILED! IT'S OK THOUGH, NOVEMBER 4TH WILL BE HERE WHEN WE WAKE UP!

OBAMA/BIDEN -08!

Well in that case, I guess ACORN didn't do anything either, the fake registrations were just an office prank, no harm, no foul.

If it was actually illegal to deceive voters in Virginia, all your favorite candidates would now be awaiting trial.

So say the "Virginia" State Police, what about a reading from the Virginia Attorney General or Secretary of States Office. Or perhaps the Federal Elections Commission?

I guarantee that if the roles were reversed the screaming from the rafters would call a halt in all deliberations in Virginia and any other place the Republicans could try. I believe if anyone shows up on Wed with that flyer – they should be allowed to vote.

maybe we need to be sending in some UN observers fro these elections...

Wow. I'd like to know what kind of back room deals were made to come to this decision. It's funny how in one sentence they state – "...have determined no criminal activity occurred...", while further down we read – "...circulating incorrect information to voters is against the law in Virginia." So which is it?

That information was sent out. How else did CNN and everyone else who are not in Virginia see it? This is quite interesting. I am sure that if it was reversed and Republicans was given the wrong information, heads would roll!

Bull___! How can they believe the fake flyer was NOT intentional.

This only goes to prove that the Police Dept in Virginia is corrupt and under Bush/McCain dictatorship orders.

The police department should convict itself for fraud and impersonating police officers!

Keep looking, this is the kind of thing Palin should be calling a potential terrorist threat, a threat on peoples freedom to vote.

Are you kidding me Virginia? That was clearly an attempt at deceiving voters. I think someone needs to investigate the Virginia State Police.

this is a joke, right?...so if democrats in VA had believed what the flyer said not voted on Nov 4, then it would be an offense?...way to go, Virginia State Police...Sen. Obama's still gonna win....ppl, go out and VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE...

Obama/Biden 08

Kina.

SOUNDS LIKE THE POLICE DEPT WORKS FOR BUSH/MCCAIN ...

With all the talk about voter fraud; the Virginia State Police consider this flyer to be an office joke. Really.. are you serious, is this a joke too?

There should have been a significant warning at the very least. Most of us think the Sarah Palin is a joke for VP but she is still in the race. I wish the Virginia Police would arrest Sarah for trying to fool us all.

This is not right .... file charges and prosecute them. This is worse than the alleged crime by ACORN.

That's a great joke. Pretty funny stuff!

Hopefully, everyone in VA and across the US has educated themselves as to when to vote. Every vote counts.

Go McCain!

Complete B.S. Mis-information is fraud, plain and simple.

I don't know of too many "office jokes" that are circulated out in neighborhoods. This "joke" was apparently in violation of Virginia State Law. I guess its only prosecutable if it were telling Republicans to vote a day late.

this is infuriating.

How convenient of the Republican party to find 'no wrong doing' in regards to literature that is completely fraudulent, misleading, corrupt and deceptive.

Says alot about the police department and the republican party in Virginia.

So if there is a law against circulating incorrect information to voters what was that flyer?

Yea, no charges because it was probably someone related in some way to a top level Republican.

Really? I'm not buying this!

I didn't think there would be a charge. As noted thoroughout this process only democrates are the only party who are instructed to uphold the law. Maybe those who decided that this should be a cute prank really hoped it would or will work.

Obama/Biden 08 (Landslide)

The Police should reveal who did it and what company was involved.

Sure. It was just an office prank.

The republican party has become expert at generating excuses and diminishing any wrong doing on their part while blowing up democratic actions from mole hills to mountains.

Just look at the ACORN fiasco. A non-story yet look at the 'liberal media' tripping over themselves to report it. And even then they couldn't get the facts straight if they even reported them at all.

Unbelievable that no charges are being filed. Of course this was meant to misinform the public. Republicans have a way of getting away with voter suppression tactics.

BTW, CNN – why did you not post the Eagleburger comments about Palin's lack of qualifications to the Political Ticker? You certainly post a lot about her when it is more pro Palin and McCain.

yeah, right, must have been a fast talking republican. They knew exactly what they were doing. If anyone shows up to vote on the wrong day it should be reported and the person who made the flyer should be charged.

Obviously the Virginia State police are conrolled by the republicans just like the Florida State police in 2000 who set up road blocks on election day to stop black people from voting.

That is crazy! No charges! I don't believe it was an "office joke" why would it be posted everywhere? This is crazy and just wrong. If it is against the law charge the person don't let the guy off the hook.

The Georgia GOP senator Clambliss told his crowds to say Nov. 5th is the election date to democrat voters. A tactic under the cover of humor.

Is anyone surprised? This has been going on for decades. Thank God for the internet and voter registration legislation. We will drag some of these areas into the 21st century if it kills us.

This might have been funny in country with a different history and different population, but not in the US of A.

Not this time!!

I saw one of those things but it wasn't for VA... it's just one of those silly emails you see circulating through the joke emailing list. Knowing that some people thought it was real is even funnier than the actual joke. LOL.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!

NO CHARGES?!?!?! Why the law doesn't apply to everyone? This truly concerns me.... Then they better let people that show up on the 5th vote too... This is unbelievable.......

That is just plain nuts!!! This was a bold face attempt to supress the votes of a nation. The Virginia Poice are shirking their responsibility to not prosecute this person! What is the matter with people who do not take their responsibilities seriously enough? They let an idiot walk on a CRIME!!!

WOW... How does this continue to be a story???

All of you are way to sensitive about things... I know I get emails all the time from friends and family... Internet and media continue to make stories out of nothing!!!

Why are you not telling the truth about Obama's tax plan (impact on middle income people), education plan (making kids do community service to get school funds), he is going to shift troops from Iraq to Afghanistan not bring them home, Obama plans to give more hand outs to people that continue to make poor choices, etc...???

I am a democrat that wanted to vote for Clinton... After looking at the two options for President... for the first time in my life I voted for a Republican.

McCain/Palin 08

So, if he had made threats against the president or even the governor as an "office joke", they would have let him off? How did it get sent out as something serious? Someone needs to pay the piper on this one.

"Office Joke?" Circulating incorrect information to voters is AGAINST THE LAW! Has law enforcement in Virginia lost its mind to suggest that because this was a joke this flyer wasn't information and therefore not illegal. PLEASEEEE give me a break.

k. sure. right. sounds really funny. no ill intentions. duh.

Oh this is a sick response to an ethically horrible issue... if it was Barack Obama's campaign... it would be a big deal.... notice how charges were quickly reversed...

It has "circulated" doesn't it? And that mean appropriate charges should be filed

How can they not prosecute this? Democrat, Republican, Alien it doesn't matter voter fraud is voter fraud. This is the equivalent of saying there is a bomb someplace, everyone evacuates and then you say I was just joking. VA get off your butt and prosecute this crime!

Can the election computers examine black votes by zip code and change them from Obama to McCain? Is this possible?

Who was the originator? Did it come from the GOP? Is that why there's no charges?

no surprise there rednecks protecting rednecks.

An "office joke" that disenfranchises ONLY Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents is not a joke! It's targeted towards a particular party, and therefore a deliberate and conscious intention to defraud. I think the Virginia police ought to have done a better job than this if they didn't want to endorse the trick!

Ill-intentioned or not, they should be prosecuted. Federal election tampering charges.

Typical last minute Republican dirty tricks...but the voter is a much smarter person than they claim he/she is.

Stooping to a new low at time grows short...

Pathetic...

OBama/BIden 2008!!!!

What? No charges? If the flyer instructed Republicans to vote on Wednesday instead of Tuesday, Republicans would be screaming foul...you betcha! wink wink

Republicans playing dirty? Wow, that's sooooo hard to believe!! That's not the first time they've done that and I doubt it will be the last.

What if it had been the other way around? I bet someone would have been charged. But in a state that one its owe (almost 60%) of police officers in Martinville sherrif (not city police) including the sherrif was charged with drug traffficing and no one pulled anytime what do you expect?

What is this! I don't care what kind of "joke" it was. If it spilled out to regular people, who could go to vote on the wrong day because of this, then the people who created this should be arrested and charged. What kind of podunky state is Virginia? You can bet if someone shows up on Wednesday to vote with one of these flyers it will go to the supreme court!

Right, just a joke, and I suppose telling folks they will be arrested, or purging voters, or threatening student scholarships is funny too! When will we begin to treat voting rights in America seriously? This is a federal election and any and all of these tactics should be treated as a felony act.

I CANNOT believe this joke is news.

As expected from the VA police
Voter suppression is not a crime in this country !!!! that's so disappointing ...

. . . meaning it was done by good, honest Republicans whose daddies went to school with our daddies. You can always count on a small town to cover up or forgive crimes! Remember Jena?

As a former state of Virginia resident for over 25 years, this is yet another example of why I moved to California...moving ahead and not ignorantly stuck back in time. I know this is not representative of all Virginians – especially the ones in "real" Virginia (ha ha!)

That's not as bad as the St. Pete Times publishing a story in the paper that told absentee ballot voters that they could mail in there ballots on Nov 3 and still have them counted (in fact, they will not be counted if mailed today). As their are a historically large number of these voters this year, maybe somebody should investigate that.

This is not a joke. The Virginia State Police is a joke.

This is why they keep doing it, because they always get away with it. Good job making an example of people trying yet again to disenfranchise black voters.

What a load of crap.

What!? Isn't it illegal to use an "official seal" on a fake document??

You know how you feel like no one cares about your problems? In 24 hrs YOU can change the world. Vote HOPE over hate. YOU can do it. 0/08.

This is unacceptable. I don't care whether the perpetrators of this thought it was joke or not. That has nothing to do with it. If circulating incorrect information to voters is against the law in Virginia, they broke the law. I beleive this and similar dirty tricks to suppress voting should be a federal offense. If we don't treat this seriously, it will never stop. Citizens of Virginia, you should protest this decision not to charge with a picket at the state capitol.

Where's the outrage?

This woman is here illegally, was deported by a judge 4 years ago, and she's living off tax payer money in Public Housing.

Where's the outrage?

And we should believe that, not this time rubs your toast

GO TO THE POLLS..............WAIT AS LONG AS YOU NEED TO
LET OLDER, DISABLED, PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO GET TO WORK AHEAD OF YOU.

TAKE YOUR FOLDING LAWN CHAIRS WITH YOU TO OFFER TO OLDER, DISABLED PEOPLE.

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER...............HELP OTHERS GET TO THE POLLS.

...if the VA police would have pressed charges if a Democrat had created that misleading flier?

Just shows how low republicans will go. They are bad people.

I don't find it funny and shame on VA State Police.....Anything for a coverup. If it was the other way around, charges would have been brought. Using your state's logo on a fake flyer should not be allowed and the responsible should be reprimanded.

That guy should be thrown into a jail cell until Wednesday, at the very least.

I don't believe this should be taken as a "joke.' Some people may have really believe it and may have waited to vote on the 5th. It's interesting that the Nov 5th date is for Democrates. Is this another McCain camp way of voter suppression?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Thats amazing. I dont believe it was a joke and the should be charged.

This attemp to change the out come of a election"It was a joke that got out of control on the internet," says Virginia Board of Elections Secretary Nancy Rodriguez. the Virginia State Police have determined no criminal activity occurred . they know it is attemped vote fraud almost alcorn. Go Obama

if the democrats had done this or a african americans who were democrats, they would be under the jail. if they are not going to go after the one who created this, are they going to go after the ones who "circulated the incorrect information?" UNBELIEVABLE! A double standard if i have ever seen one.

The bigger question is who was behind the flyer. The police can't just say no harm, no foul!!!!! We all know that it was one of many Republican efforts to keep people from voting!!!!

Give me a break. Someone distributed these fliers (very official looking ones at that) with the implication that votes for democrats would be lost, and there is no "criminal activity"? That is a load of crap! Talk about having the repubs watch your back! It's obvious the repubs are in charge of the police force.

My co-workers just dared me to drive up to Virginia and rob a bank, as an "office prank".

I won't intend to steal the money...and I won't keep it. I'll give it to my coworkers.

And if I get caught; well, it was an office prank, so you'll have to let me go.

omg..... at least fine them.

Charges should be filed. Seems like somebody broke the law and they are getting away with it.

Certainly with this much effort to debunk the flyer, and the fact that anyone not living under a rock know tomorrow we vote, I am not too disappointed. They should have the FBI pay a visit to the perps and 'recommend' they not engage in the behavior again. That may scare them straight.

More truth, less lies

BO08

Palin asks whether Democrats think terrorists are good guys. I want to ask her, does she think the Klan members, the skinheads, and neo-nazis that are voting for her are terrorists? If so, are they good guys too???

This is deliberate misinformation of the public and should be taken with the utmost seriousness.
I am sure if the message has been that Republicans vote Nov 5 while Democrats vote Nov 4, the McCain campaign would have shouted foulplay and Republicans would have screamed that it is ACORN at work. So who is at work now?

What gives? This is a far more serious "threat to democracy" than ACORN!!! The creators of this fraud should be prosecuted big time!

Regardless of whether it is a joke, if someone tries to vote on Wednesday their right has been compromised and should sue the indvidual that created/distributed this flyer. He/She is responsible for his/her actions. SHAME SHAME SHAME Virginia Police. Wonder which way their votes lean...

How about a pat on his back and complimentary vacation in the Carribean?

This is exactly why we need new decent people elected this time. Shame!

this is a pretty miserable injustice... for all you people screaming about acorn, here is the REAL voter fraud....... the actions of the employees of acorn, while illegal, did influence the election in any way – its impossible to. THIS on the other hand, tells people to vote on the wrong day. a clear lie, and a clear attempt at manipulating the outcome of hte elction.

the crazy names (mickey mouse, etc..) that were attempted to be registered to vote can not influence the election in any way possible. the only way mickey mouse can vote – even if registered – is if mickey mouse shows up with proper ID to the correct polling place and votes. since there is no mickey mouse, and no ID, there is no vote by mickey mouse – thus, all this acorn drama is a creation of the desperate right wing.

And the system of corruption lives on...evil thrives when good people do nothing, folks! Guess "good people" does not include those cops in question.

If you’re voting for Obama, it would be MORE helpful to our country (not to mention shorter lines!) if you cast your ballot on November 5, 2008 or thereafter.

Hahaha!

That's a good one, because most of these Democratic voters are dumb enough to fall for it.

Maybe they need to dig a little deeper and find out who sent the flyer beyond the "office" where it was a joke! I would be concerned that someone took what started out as a joke and used it to mess with voters.

this is bull

The important thing is, the credibility of the Virginia State Police has been reaffirmed.

Word is, they're gonna celebrate the closing of the investigation with a free screening of the movie "Deliverance".

No surprise there.

You've got to be kidding me

Typical Republican voter fraud at work.

I am outrage and demand for someone to be fired. If this was an in office joke then how the hell did these flyers end up in people mailboxes? Virginia State Police are in the sack with the Republicans and will stop at nothing to throw this election. This is a crime and someone should have to pay for their "JOKES". I guess hanging a life picture of Obama from a tree a joke as well. Virginia is s southern state, someone had better be their watching the people at the elections because how can anyone trust them after this?

"office joke’ and was not intended as a means of a misinformation campaign targeting registered voters,” This is an outrage, how can they honestly say that it was NOT intended as misinformation. If it was a Demcocrat that did this they would be prosecuting to the full extent of the law. And the Republicans would be screaming VOTER SUPRESSION. Just goes to show you that the Virginia Police department is in the tank for McCain.

Great – now this kind of dirty campaigning will flourish in VA.

Wow! It's amazing how people can get off with things in this country. Joke my behind; it was done intentionally but I guess you have to be the right color in order to get charged. We know this was done by the republican party who is the majority white racist.

This is a perfect example of what kind of people republicans are, all they do is fear mongering and deceiving people. Instead of offering solutions to fix the economy, all I hear fromMcCain/Palin ticket is attacks on Obama . I'm still waiting for McCain to tell me about a single thing tat he's going to do differently than Bush.

Obama/Biden'2008

You are kidding me, right? Does this now mean that if you wear an Obama shirt to the voting booth it can be considered a joke too?

When will the GOP stop trying to win elections using such tactics?

Look at what 'W' did. he has been by far the most unpopular president if the USA and one cannot help asking if some people actually realise this.

It is very coincidental that all tactics, erroneous fliers, lost ballots, can't confirm eligibility to vote, purged registered voters, etc., etc., have all been geared toward Democrats. If McCain wins, it will be at the underhand tactics of the Republican party. They CANNOT win if they run a honest election.

U N B E L I E V A B L E ! ! !

Any foreign observer on an election on another country would consider a flyer like this to be an irregularity. It's unbelievable that no charges are being pressed.

I mean, if this was a joke, why did they go through the trouble of adding AN OFFICIAL STATE SEAL!

The important thing is, the credibility of the Virginia State Police has been reaffirmed.

Word is, they're gonna celebrate the closing of the investigation with a free screening of the movie "Deliverance".

Appalling – an "office joke" with the way this election has been portrayed and charges of voter fraud? Charges should have been filed, then perhaps dropped at the discretion of a judge – but the perpetrator should understand that this was a crime!

So, let me get this straight:

The police admits that the flyer was misleading and that the suspect circulated the flyer. The police also admits that circulating incorrect information to voters is against the law in Virginia...

However, they aren't charging him with something?

Seems like someone had a break with reality...

PLEASE VOTE PEOPLE!!

YOUNG PEOPLE – you have to VOTE!!

No Matter how LONG the LINES are!

If the fake flyers were circulated to other people, the main motive
is to mislead and suppress voters votes. It is not a joke and
the authorities of Virginia must proceed with prosecuting the
person or persons...these are Republican brands...they were the
experienced and the best in voter suppressions...

Desperado!

I love it whan Mccain say PUNDITS! he almost bounces lolol

Game Over Mccain – Palin

If it was an office joke, why did it not stay at the office. How was it being distribute in the public?

I don't believe in wasting any more time looking into this, but why not list what office this originated at. This was a " thorough investigation into the origin" wasn't it.

This is horrible. Joke or no joke, by using the state seal and taking the extra steps to make it look official, they took it way too far. It sends the wrong message and opens the door for others to attempt similar acts.
Something should be done to discourage this type of activity. The police were wrong not to act on this one!!

Well I hope the employee who created was fired.

OBAMA 08

The real joke is the VA state police department.

That is rediculous!!!! How did they come to the conclusion that this was NOT an attempt to mislead voters??? What a crook of Moose Dung!!!!!!!!!

Obama only down 3 points in ALASKA !!! Yeah, that's right, ALASKA, the place that Putin can see from Russia.

GOTV
OB08

Is this the same state who convicted Michael Vick of Dog fighting.

But attempts to Hi-Jack voters rights is somehow OK!!!

Unbelieveable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Somehow I don't have think Obama is going to get a fair shake.

An office joke? Not funny. No charges? Ummm, okay...

Why?? they can't pin down where McCain and Palin are at the moment?? all they need to do is look at the CNN Ticker to find where they are.

No charges? That's outrageous!!!

So unfortunate.

By the way, what charges are being laid against the Republican party for one of its workers falsely claiming that an Obama supporter put a reverse B on her face?

Lame. Too many of these efforts intended to disenfranchise, intimidate, or strip voters of their rights go unpunished. Charges should've been filed if these fliers were found posted throughout a neighborhood.

"The department noted, however, that circulating incorrect information to voters is against the law in Virginia."

If this were true, wouldn't all of the candidates be in in the "Hokie-pokey?"

Nice story CNN. However, there is a Youtube video where Obama says that he is willing to bankrupt the coal industry. Though he is "in favor" of carbon sequestration and clean coal, he is apparently unaware that 50% of America's electricty is generated by coal.

I guess throwing thousands of people out of work in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, etc. is OK with Obama.

CNN, as usual, stands by their policy of Certainly No News that would upset the Obama express.

Why does CNN always place Sarah Palin on top these blogs? Frankly, some of us are getting way too tired of seeing this person. Please CNN stop it!!!!!!!

Okay, so... they circulated incorrect information to voters, which is illegal, but they didn't intend anything illegal so there won't be any charges???? Clearly the police in Virginia are still Republicans.

This is for the comment that Sarah said...Do the Democrats think that terrorists are "The Good Guys". I take a very defense in that statement that she made...This here you Loser why are you starting so much HATE..You should be ashamed of yourself.....I plan on plastering your comment all over the Web..When 911 hit us. It hit all Americans...Are you so desperate to get a vote to say such a horrible thing? Go back to Alaska and continue on with your BRAIN Freeze... Desperate Desperate Desperate.......

what a crockl...this person should be charged. I don;t care if it was an offivce joke...it was distributed...and could have had an effect on the election. makes you wondre who those in power are pulling for. If it against the law in Va then the person should be charged.

Yeah sure. I bet it was a republican who investigated the crime.

Nice story CNN. However, there is a Youtube video where Obama says that he is willing to bankrupt the coal industry. Though he is "in favor" of carbon sequestration and clean coal, he is apparently unaware that 50% of America's electricty is generated by coal.

CNN, as usual, stands by their policy of Certainly No News that would upset the Obama express.

This person should be punished to the full extent of the law. Officials deciding not to charge this person must be voting for the say anything, do anything to get elected Repubs. Thats democracy in action. disgusting.!!!

Oh?

BUT WHERE ARE PALIN'S MEDICAL RECORDS? WHY IS SHE HIDING THEM?

IS BUSH IN PARAGUAY AT HIS RANCH?

So.....WHO printed up the bogus flyer and distributed it around a neighborhood? Why would the Virginia gov NOT want someone to answer for this? This is voter manipulation in the highest regard!

yeah right!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, lying about voting days is not a way to deceive voters??? Interesting.

Spineless!

Small potatoes.

Keep your eye on the prize. Get out and vote. Take your friends and your neighbors with you.
McCain's team keeps saying they are going to win in Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Colorado and win the election.

The only way they can win is either we don't vote or they commit the biggest voter fraud in history. Vote, don't give them the opportunity to steal it.

Of course there will be no charges because the elites will try to steal this election ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

Sidekick and Sideshow are hatemongers who deserve each other. Cindy, watch out: You reap what you sow!

Thank God someone has some sense of proportion here.

The comments on the original story are precious:

This is treason? How about blasphemy, since Obama is Lord?

More dangerous than any terrorist, "real or imagined"? There are a few thousand people who died in New York, Washington and Pennsylania in 2001 who would disagree that this little flyer is more dangerous than, yes, REAL terrorists.

GET A LIFE!

The Republicans pull something like this, and it is a "joke"? 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.

figures

If that was a joke, America isn't laughing. That person should have been charged.

most of these folk called themselves righteous Christians, and look at them, god fprbid the secular (sinner) action

Someone please explain to me how the law wasn't broken when these flyers were placed on the doorsteps of voters?

What a crock of ......

How could it be construed as anything BUT an attempt to decieve voters...why are the state police investigating this and not the VA AG's office?

Corrupt much?
