Voter Suppression! (Fancy Campaign-Speak for "Stealing the Election")

So, yesterday, one of my vols (snazzy campaign-speak for "volunteers") went down to monitor the lines at our early voting location. People have been waiting up to three hours to vote, and we sent people down to encourage would-be voters to stay in line. We offered doughnuts, sandwiches, and personal audiences with Obama. What, did we go too far?

According to my vol, county election officials and poll workers told would-be voters waiting in the line that if they were not up to a certain point in the line by a certain time, they'd have to leave and come back another day to vote. This, even though by law, anybody in line by the time the polls close gets to vote.

Horseshit! (Groovy campaign-speak for "horseshit!")

Hasta la victoria, siempre! (Posh campaign-speak for "We're commies!")
