The residents of Broward County, Florida have recently received misleading robocalls telling them that they can vote by phone on Election Day, according to a report in the South Florida Sun-Sentinel on Friday.

Deceptive Fliers + robocalls + faulty electonic voting machines :I wonder if this country will ask the UN to come and watch and ask for a fairness of this election , you know like 3rd world countries.

Well since Bry proved the flyers to be a myth and all that information was based off of blogs. I'm going to have to think this is false to as it is all based off blogs. Until its on CNN, just cannot believe it.

Another Blog... like the last one you posted... I'm even less inclined to believe this... especially when the Sun sentinal link the individual posted in the blog link you posted is a blog in the Sun sentinal

http://weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/news..._robocall.html

However near the bottom of the blog you posted links to pittsburg paper... but after all the others have been proved false and all based on blogs for information, I am still less inclined to believe it.

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/ and affiliate is one of the biggest news source in FL.

I would believe them than trusting Fox news and its affiliates, how is that ?

If UN vote observers were brought in; but the regime then didn't like their interference, could it lead to the UN being thrown out... of their headquarters?

But with the world watching, America is not doing a very good job to sell democracy to the world!

Its not as bad as in virigina where theres a phony flyer going around that says Republicans vote on Tuesday and Democrates vote on wednesday.

I have to agree that the international views on american elections have taken a hit. Its a bad election season.

Learn to read. Here's a quote from your link: "This form of humor moved closer to the "dirty tricks" column than the "funny jokes" column in late October 2008, when it was circulated in Virginia on fliers bearing the name and logo of the Virginia State Board of Elections as well as the logo of the Commonwealth of Virginia"

This means that far from debunking this story, Snopes is confirming that these fliers have been distributed, though they aren't official documents. Your previous posts would seem to make it clear that you think there isn't any intentionally deceptive information being sent out to the public.
