"The state attorney general's office is investigating a letter received by some Southern California Hispanics that says it is a crime for immigrants to vote and tells them they could be jailed or deported if they go to the polls next month." Read the rest of the AP story here.
Of course, citizens can vote in any election, regardless of where they were born, but an official-looking letter, in Spanish, threatening jail or deportation for doing so, could certainly keep many naturalized citizens from finding their local polling places.
Bitch PhD said, "I hope this bullshit gets heavy regional news coverage. And I hope it pisses off the people it was meant to scare, and that they turn out in droves at the polls."
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Update: California GOP leadership calls for its own candidate to drop out of the race! And...News travels fast! Keith Olbermann featured this story on Countdown 10/19/2006!
