Does anyone have ANY LINK to some shenanigans the repigs pull on election day?

I've *lived* it. But I never saved one. I never saved ONE of the bulletins repigs plaster saying that if you owe child support and you try to vote, you will be arrested. They post these in minority neighborhoods, and I *can't* be the only person who knows it. If anybody scanned one, or has a link handy, it would *really* help me on another forum.



(aside: have I insulted SWINE by saying repigs? Maybe I should call them "motherfuckers". Does that then insult mothers? People be trippin', for REAL. Just sayin')

Oh wow! a passive aggressive threat. Thanks! I wonder how *that* reflects on one's reputation?

Don't care about how you make yourself appear here? Then just carry right on.

everyone having them and all. Oh, and of course, YOU *could* follow your own advice and practice what you preach and all. People claiming the moral high ground shouldn't be standing in quick sand when they do it.
