Five “dirty tricks” to watch out for when you go vote

Five “dirty tricks” to watch out for when you go vote

These voter-suppression tricks usually involve misinformation or intimidation tactics and play on voter ignorance of voting laws.

With the help of Allen Raymond, author of "How to Rig an Election" we've compiled a list of five ways people may try to get you not to vote on Election Day. Raymond should know - he was a dirty trickster. As a Republican campaign adviser he helped stop a Democratic get-out-the-vote operation, a trick that landed him in jail when he plead guilty to one count of conspiring to make harassing phone calls.



How to Rig an Election - Confessions of a Republican Operative. - A MUST read for all Democrats ( and anybody else who prefers democracy to Fascist Totalitarianism).
