Phony Flyer

A flyer being distributed, with logos that mimic the appearance of an official state of Virginia seal, are being distributed instructing Republicans to vote on the actual election day, Tuesday, November 4, while telling Democrats to vote on the worng day, the day after the election, Wednesday, November 5.

From an article found at Hamptonroads.com:

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."

The four-paragraph flier concludes with: "We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause but felt this was the only way to ensure fairness to the complete electorial process."

No emergency action has been taken by the General Assembly. It is not in session and lacks the authority to change the date of a federal election.

State Board of Election officials today said they are aware of the flier but disavowed any connection to it.
