Voter suppression letter received in Lake County yesterday - be aware!
ALERT! A letter with the following message was received in Lake County yesterday afternoon. Get out in the streets! Knock on doors! Make sure people know their rights!!! Don't let liars and thieves steal this election... (again)!
(we can be hopeful. If the right wing is stooping to this sort of trick, we know they're desperate... November 2 can't come fast enough!!)
Letter text:
Lake County Board of Elections
105 Main St., PO Box 490
Painesville, OH 44077-0490
URGENT ADVISORY
October 22, 2004.
Dear Newly Registered Voter,
The voter registration deadline passed on October 4, 2004 and we registered a record number of new voters. The demand on our office has been great and we appreciate your cooperation. Unfortunately independent efforts by the NAACP, America Coming Together, John Kerry for President and the Capri Cafaro for Congress campaigns have been illegally registering people to vote and apply for absentee ballots. This is a terrible occurence that will undermine the process of democracy. If you have been registered by any of these entities then you may run the risk of being illegally registered to vote. Please be advised that if you were registered in this capacity that you will not be able to vote until the next election. We apologize for these problems and we will pursue these entities to the fullest extent. Please notify the Lake County Sheriff's office if you have any questions.
