“The Bucks County Republican Committee challenged more than 1,600 absentee ballot applications it deemed suspicious in the weeks leading up to the November election. Board of elections employees rejected almost 900 ballot applications that were incomplete or questionable, an unprecedented number that made elections officials suspicious.”
Then the story takes an interesting twist.
“The effort also included letters from a fictitious ‘Pennsylvania Voter Assistance Office’ that warned residents’ voting rights might be at risk if they did not obtain an absentee ballot. Applications were directed to the post office box of Congressman Patrick Murphy’s re-election campaign manager, instead of the county.”
Really?! A shady letter from a phony sender warning voters about possibly losing their right to vote?
“Democrats, including Murphy, denied wrongdoing, saying the letter was legal.”
How about that. Nothing wrong with tricking voters sometimes, but not all the time. Maybe Senator Cardin can call Congressman Murphy up to the Senate next time he holds a hearing on deceptive voter practices.
