Any person who falls victim to this ruse probably should not be voting in the first place?

If you think everybody has a computer/internet and cable tv and telephone, think again.
And usually when people receive some kind of official voting annoucement , some will fall for it , call them naive , stupid or whatever , it is still preying on the weak.

It's simply a cheap trick , so cheap , i am embarassed of this kind of behaviour , trying to Misinform old people , poor people , spanish people , black people , immigrant people etc etc etc.

It does remind me those email spams and website phishing , trying always to deceive our people.

Did you do a recent edit?? I did not see your complete post until I hit the quote button.

This is what I got:

OK..... got the revised version, now.

I do have to agree with you about people having means of communication.
Yes, there are far too many predators in this world that prey on the unwary.
I concede.

I edited to add more information to my post .

And answering to your last comment,I know it is a sad state of affairs.

I thought my puter went haywire... took me by surprise.
Didn't know if I had to look at the "quote" box to get the complete message..... timing issue and a real fluke.

Politics . . It is a capital crime to register a few false voters, but fine to mislead genuine ones . . .

**Drew1369** · 10-28-2008, 12:15 PM

there is not a single verified account... only blogs

The washingtonpost + Virginia section is not a blog. Sorry to tell you.

**Drew1369** · 10-28-2008, 09:03 PM

when the last part of the link you posted says blog... it makes me think its a blog...

**flipper** · 10-28-2008, 09:38 PM

They need to change the wording, because when you go to the address it says you can subscribe to this blog. And when you go to http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ the first part of the url, it says blog directory. Very confusing.

**Drew1369** · 10-28-2008, 10:18 PM

And when you do a search all you get is forums, and more blog links...

Tumbleweed36 · 10-29-2008, 04:52 AM

If it looks like a blog, smells like a blog, and says a blog, it is probably a blog = opinion and not fact.

bry623 · 10-29-2008, 06:33 AM

And if it smells like an urban legend, then it is.

Can't believe anyone tried this and then had people believe it.

where is your blog now drew???

**Drew1369** · 11-04-2008, 11:35 AM

YAY you found some proof

At least you arent peddling blogs as proof this time.

But here I was thinking some mass conspiracy... not one person

Tumbleweed36 · 11-04-2008, 05:22 PM

I am a Kentucky Colonel (Kentucky Governor bestows that honor) member in good standing. If we use this logic for the vote problem, it means that if one Kentucky Colonel member (and there are many) passes out something that is misleading, misinforming someone, that we all are guilty. Therefore, we can say Kentucky Colonel members are misleading and misinforming people? Give me a break!

**simpswr** · 11-04-2008, 05:36 PM

. . well . . I ate at kfc last week . . does that count for anything?
