Guess what I got from GOP.Com? An email with the wrong polling place!
<snip>

Dear Christian,

Tomorrow, America faces a moment of decision. Your vote for Republican candidates will keep America on offense in the War on Terror, secure our borders, and keep your taxes low.

The polls in Arizona show a tight race and your vote could make the difference. Here's where you vote tomorrow:

What: VOTE on Election Day, Tuesday, November 7
Where: Your Polling Place
MESA FIRE STATION #10
Mesa, AZ 85204

<snip>

Hmm, that's all the way on the other side of town.

Good thing I've voted early, I'd hate to get stuck in all that traffic tomorrow!
:sarcasm:

3. Print it out, save it on your computer too, and follow up
after the election - file a complaint with your election bureau. Get them to track down who sent it and go to your local papers and broadcast media with the information. Karl Rove started the GOP dirty tricks when he was in college and it has festered and metastisized like a cancerous growth ever since. Last presidential election the GOP papered Baltimore's black communities with a flyer combining the wrong day & date - told them the election was on a Wednesday, and also warned all to pay up all their back child support, alimony, criminal fines,unpaid rents, parking tickets, etc. before they voted or they'd be arrested.

4. Same here. I changed registration (and counties) several months ago.
The link they included in the email had the proper place, as I knew already where to go.

10. Plausible deniability, computer "glitch" would be blamed. They
were hoping you wouldn't read the second one. Or they are just fallible humans (yeah, sure).

7. That is a good thing.
They are sending the e-mails to Rupublicans. I hope none of them check the follow up email.
I got one too.

11. they're not misinforming republicans
They're sending to Democrats. The e-mails purport to be to Republicans so that when they get caught, they can claim it was an error.

13. That's illegal. Save it, turn it in
Seriously. Somebody at GOP.com broke the law. If enough people save these and turn them in, the prosecutors can make a better case. Save it, and turn it in. Hell, put it in a plastic bag. It is evidence of a crime.

14. Did you ever sign up with their email list?
I did and also received the following:
(I entered my address and it couldn't find my voting location. I signed up with my name and I receive postal mail with Hates Bush after my name just the way I signed up.)

Tomorrow, America faces a moment of decision. Your vote for Republican candidates will keep America on offense in the War on Terror, secure our borders, and keep your taxes low.

The polls in Indiana show a tight race and your vote could make the difference. Click here for your local voting information.
What: VOTE on Election Day, Tuesday, November 7
Where: To find your local polling place and get directions, please visit www.GOP.com/Vote or Statewide Voter Registration System
When: Polls open from 6am-6pm

The Democrats are counting on you to stay home. You are the only thing that stands between them and controlling Congress, with an agenda of higher taxes, endless investigations, and threats of cutting off funding for our troops in the field.

Please vote tomorrow. Forward this email to your friends, neighbors, and associates so they can look up their polling place and know where to vote. And go online to get your calling list of 30 voters to turn out fellow Republicans.

Thank you for your support. With your vote, Republicans will make history tomorrow.

Sincerely,

.

Michael DuHaime
RNC Political Director

P.S. If you're out and about tomorrow, and need a reminder of where to vote, point your web-enabled cell phone to m.gop.com to get directions to your polling place. The polls are open tomorrow from 6am-6pm

15. that's disgusting
How do these people stand to look at themselves in the mirror?

That's not a rhetorical question. How do they live with themselves, with all that badness and all those lies roiling around inside them?

No matter how many elections they may win with that kind of behavior (not that tomorrow will be one of them!), they lose themselves. Bad trade.
