Voter witnesses electioneering, propaganda at South Carolina polling place

By GottaLaff

Commenter Ady received the following e-mail from a voter in South Carolina. Get ready:

I went to go vote absentee today in Greenville and I saw something that really concerned me. There was a lady in line in front of me and she said, "Would you like some reading material while you wait? It has the candidates' positions on the issues." I took the printout out of curiosity and it was an email about how Barack Obama was a muslim and McCain was right on the issues. I didn't read the whole thing but one line did say that he wanted the same level of health care as those in 3rd world countries. I was mad so I just gave it back to her and said I considered myself to be well informed. I should have taken it as proof but it all happened so fast I didn't think about it.

After we got inside I overheard her say to the lady in front of her that if Obama was president there would be no more national elections. This was right in front of the poll worker. She looked uncomfortable but she didn't say anything. I didn't know what to do but when I got back to the house I told my sister Angela. She said I should call the Obama office and send out this email immediately.

The lady I talked to on the phone at the Obama office called the supervisor at the polling location and told him about it. He talked to all the poll workers and no one admitted to hearing the conversation. They never had to put up a sign about how it was illegal but they may do it now.

Please let people know about this. Hopefully it wont happen again, but if it does we will be more prepared.

We're letting people know. Every time something like this happens, it's important to hang on to any proof you can, take photos (cell phones come in handy for this), and report it.
