Repug dirty tricks – surpressing the vote in Ohio
Looks like the Repugs are back to their dirty tricks – McBush sent out a form for voters in Ohio to register via absentee ballot – but with a ‘trick’ question (“are you eligable to vote”), that if unchecked – would invalidate the registration.  The Cincinnati Enquirer calls it a ’snafu’ and the tone of the article implies that it is McBush voters that will get the shaft, but have no doubt that if the Repugs are involved, this is an attempt to surpress the Dem vote.
Stumble it!

There you go again with accusations. How disrespectful!

The McCain campaign sent me a Minnesota absentee ballot request form a couple of weeks ago. Not very helpful, since I moved to New Jersey in May and have already registered over here. The McCain campaign mailed the Minnesota forms directly to my new New Jersey address, so somebody must have given them a clue that I wasn’t in Minnesota anymore.
Personally, I take this as further evidence that the McCain campaign is run by incompetent idiots, though I don’t completely discount the dirty trick theory.

I got one in Pennsylvania, but no “are you eligible to vote?” question on mine.
