| Campaign manager of Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Pa., tied to deceptive absentee ballot mailer |
| 2010-10-28 |
| [Washington Examiner] Pennsylvania Republicans are up in arms over a mailer that went out all over Bucks county. The mailer, which you can see here, tells voters that their participation the election is "in jeopardy" and includes an application for an absentee ballot. The mailer comes with a prepaid envelope so voters can return their absentee ballot requests to the P.O. box of the official-sounding-but-entirely-fictitious "Voter Assistance Office." As it happens, the campaign manager of Rep. Patrick Murphy, D-Pa., is one of two people cleared to pick up mail from the P.O. box listed on the mailer. In fact, the Pennsylvania Republican Party has a photo of what it claims is the P.O. box in question with campaign manager Tim Perisco's name on it. |

| #1 For those of you who haven't clicked the link to the article and read the letter to the court that is linked in the article, I encourage you to do so. These tactics are common (from both sides). This kind of activity should be thoroughly investigated, and those involved should be prosecuted, but none of that will happen. This is a great example of how politicians and their cronies view our system; they could care less about honor or integrity in the voting process. They only care about power, and your vote and your freedom don't mean SQUAT to them. |
