The dirty tricks have already begun. Republicans are shamelessly attempting to prevent eligible Obama supporters from casting a vote:
- Election officials in some swing states have been illegally purging voter registration rolls.1
- Fox News has been spreading false allegations about ACORN, a community group that registers low-income people to vote—laying the ground for challenges to legitimate voter registrations.23
- In Philadelphia, right-wing operatives have distributed flyers falsely warning that anyone with so much as an unpaid parking ticket will be arrested if he or she attempts to vote.4
- A GOP county chair in Michigan promised to block people whose homes are in foreclosure from voting!5
