A forged flyer going to voters in a closely fought Virginia congressional district seems aimed at suppressing Democratic
turnout on Election Day.
Purporting to come from Virginia's Board of Elections, the flyer says "All Democratic party supporters and independent
voters supporting Democratic candidates shall vote on November 5th." That's one day after Election Day.
Whoever is circulating the flyer seems concerned with electing Republicans. The phony information tells "Republican
party supporters and independent voters supporting Republican candidates" to vote on Nov. 4, the real day of the
election.
The flyer's circulation was first reported in the Virginian-Pilot. The somewhat official-looking flier - it features the
state board logo and the state seal - is dated Oct. 24 and indicates that "an emergency session of the General Assembly
has adopted the follwing (sic) emergency regulations to ease the load on local electorial (sic) precincts and ensure a
fair electorial process."
