McCain Campaign Accused of Voter Caging
Monday, September 22nd, 2008 @ 9:59 pm | You think so
It is being reported the McCain campaign is sending absentee ballot applications to registered Democrats or people who have donated to Senator Obama’s campaign. These ballots are deliberately misleading and have postage paid return addresses that are for an election clerk that is outside of your city or town. What this will do is either have your vote not counted, or if you return one of these, you could be cited for election fraud, saying that you already voted as an absentee.
These ballots are only being sent out in “purple states” otherwise known as swing states. This is a big deal. This practice is called voter caging. It is a huge problem.“Caging” is a term from the direct mail marketing industry. It is a technique used to manipulate names to make a useful mailing list of potential buyers of goods or services.
In politics it is way to suppress the vote. For more information see Caging List as described in detail here.
The McCain campaign is stealing this election as we speak. Please get this information out to as many people as you can. Tell anyone you know who has received one of these ballots they need to contact their city election clerk or the supervisor of elections immediately.
This is the low down dirty we’ve come to expect during this campaign season and certain campaigners do not wish to disappoint.
Spread the word about caging.
We thank Mrs. C. for this informative news item.
