The GOP is despicable!

To deny any American the right to vote is un-American (well, convicted felons, depending on the state, is another story explained in the Straight Dope, 2000). Seems this may come to a surprise to some Republicans. Every four years we hear the same thing coming form the Grand Old Party. Its happening again.

Two days ago I wrote about a few of the nefarious tactics Republicans are presently using to deny honest Americans from casting their vote or to paint an evil cloud over those left of center. I forgot the very story that inspired the post.

This from the Washington Post:
Virginia elections officials said fliers are making the rounds in several Hampton Roads localities attempting to confuse voters.

The fliers advise Republicans to vote on Nov. 4, and Democrats on Nov. 5.

Election Day for everyone, of course, is Nov. 4.

The bogus advisory features the logo of the State Board of Elections and states the two voting dates are intended to ease the load on local balloting officials.

State police are looking into the source of the fliers.
