Well, the voting mess has started. And sad part is, it could be racially tinted. There are some reports that fliers in neighborhoods of Philadelphia are warning voters they could be arrested at the polls if they hadn't paid their parking tickets or if they had criminal past.
Then they are fliers telling people to vote on the 5th or linking Obama to the Holocaust. Saying "Jewish Americans cannot afford to make the wrong decision on Tuesday, Nov. 4," and this is paid for by the Republican Federal Committee.
Then this story I read today an issue in New Mexico. Two Hispanic women claimed they were harassed by a somewhat private investigator working for a Republican lawyer who came to their homes and threatened to call immigration authorities even though they are U.S. citizens. The women filed a lawsuit last week this guy.
These actions are far from being American or Patriotic. It's sad and dangerous to our spirit. Let the chips fall as the may, but no cheating. If they can catch these jerks, I hope they can put them in jail or publicly ruin their lives. This election is way to important to play stupid tricks. But on the other hand, because it is important, people are doing whatever they can.
