Remember when Bush* mailed absentee ballots? Part of supression plot?
Edited on Fri Nov-05-04 11:33 PM by LoZoccolo
I remember the Bush* campaign mailing supporters absentee ballots and asking them to vote early with them. I can't remember what states this was in. But I remember thinking at the time that it might be to get them to vote while he had momentum from the Republican National Convention.

Well, now I'm thinking, if they loaded his supporters with absentee ballots, and then generally supressed turnout on election day, that would tilt the vote in his favor! For example, if the challengers challenged a bunch of people, and a large number of Bush* voters had already voted before election day, then the challengers have less of a chance of supressing a Bush* vote by accident! Or if they did something like send bunches of people to the wrong precinct or something, it wouldn't matter as much if the Bush* supporters had already voted.
