Scaring Student Voters. Dont get rattled by this
I went through the same hassle when i was in college in 2000. I was threatened with arrest, expulsion, loss of scholarship you name it.. I told them to go fuck yourself. College students out there don't let this get in the way of your best interests



Oct. 6, 2008—

Election officials and watchdog groups are bracing for the wave of sneaky or suspicious phone calls, leaflets and emails that typically hit battleground states in the final 30 days of the presidential campaign.

Young voters at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Penn. have already been targeted, with students reporting that flyers have been posted around campus warning that undercover police will be at the polls on Election Day looking to make arrests.

The flyer reads like a friendly letter to fellow students relaying a warning from an "Obama supporter": "He informed me that on the day of the election there will be undercover officers to execute warrants on those who come to vote based on the anticipated turnout," writes the anonymous student in the letter which was later posted on the Drexel College Democrats website. "He advised me if I had any outstanding warrants or traffic offenses I should clear them up prior to voting."

1. Does that work to deter student voters? I would hope not, but I wonder
if they pull the same crap in inner cities. That would be bad, and if it's in the works, I hope the dems have a plan to re-assure people in that community.
