I keep reading reports about this, but really, what can they do? They can't actually go in the voting booth.
Yes, they can threaten to lay people off if Obama wins, but would they really do it? It seems rather extreme, even for the Kook brothers.
More right-wing intimidation tactics since voter suppression hasn't really worked for them!

This WAS MADE ILLEGAL to do duringn the 70s, but CU ruling
included recending that law and making it totally legal to
do this shit, for CEO's to threaten and extort workers to
vote a certain way, "or else... ".
